APPARATUS FOR REDUCING GEAR TRAIN BACKLASH

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for reducing backlash in a gear wheel (10). This wheel comprises at least two interacting gear rims (11, 12) which can rotate in relation to one another, and at least one adjusting means (15) located between the gear rims for adjusting the relative angle of rotation of the gear rims about a common axis of rotation. The adjusting means (15) consists of a hydraulic cylinder which is connected to a pressure medium source and is arranged so as to act between two gear rims (11, 12). In this connection, a force arises, which tends to displace one gear rim in relation to the other about the axis of rotation.
