The Optimum Design for the New-Typed Auto-Eliminate Backlash Mechanism in Gear Transmission

In order to solve the transmission error from the backlash in precision gear transmission, this paper proposes a mechanism which uses slider and pendulum to eliminate backlash. Based on the force analysis of the new-typed auto-eliminate backlash mechanism, genetic algorithm is selected to optimize the design. The simulation experiment by Matlab shows that spring force of the mechanism is minimum and its performance is ideal, meanwhile the configuration parameters of the mechanism are ensured.
