When selecting a servo gearbox for a motion control system, backlash is the feature commonly used for precision. Understanding total lost motion and how it affects overall precision can help you select the optimal components for your application.
In this white paper, “Beyond Backlash: Total Lost Motion in Gearboxes and Couplings,” learn about lost motion, how it is calculated for a specific system and then compare the lost motion of various types of gearing.
