A method and a device for setting backlash between gears in a gear train. The device comprises a gear device (10). When the gear device is located in a gear train with a drive gear (12) and a driven gear (14) and brought into mesh therewith, the hub (18) intended to mount the idler gear can be positioned and fastened by the bolts (22) to adjust the position of the idler gear hub. The gear device (10) can then be removed and is replaced by an idler gear designed to mesh with the drive and driven gears with an amount of backlash predetermined by the gear device. The gear device may comprise a gear (16) oversized by a preset amount. Alternatively, it may comprise a pair of rods (42) pivotally secured together. |
