Split gear (1) for avoiding backlash when engaging a mating gear (4), comprising a first (2) and second (3) toothed gear wheel, rotating means (5) for coaxially interconnecting the first (2) and second (3) gear at least partially rotatable with respect to each other around a mutual rotational axis (15) and a spring (10) resiliency interconnecting the first (2) and second (3) gear for creating a negative moment between the first (2) and second (3) gear upon alignment of the teeth (12, 13) of the first (2) and second (3) gear by rotation of the first (2) gear with respect to the second (3) gear so that the mating gear (4) can be engaged, characterised in that the spring (10) is integrally formed with the second (3) gear wheel. |
