There is a certain amount of clearance needed in order for a gearhead to
function properly. This helps avoid excessive heat or wear in the gearing and insures proper lubrication. Clearance in the gear mesh means there is a small gap between the gear teeth which leads to lost motion. The figure below shows the rotation of the geahead shaft with an applied load.
What is lost motion?
Lost motion basically occurs in two ways
1) Backlash – clearance between
the gear teeth
2) Torsional Stiffness – wind up within the gearhead.
Torque CWTorque CCW
Shaft Rotation
Backlash
Slope of line =Torsional Stiffness
Some backlash is essential, too much causes lost motion in the application. ELECTROMATE

Gearhead backlash is the angular rotation of the output shaft measured in arc-minutes (1/60th of a degree) in both directions. This is basically a measurement of the space between the gear teeth. There is no strict standard mandating how backlash should be measured for a gearhead. This leads to some confusion and misconceptions in the market concerning backlash, precision and lost motion. At Micron, Backlash is measured at 2% of the rated output torque and is a maximum value at every point on the output shaft for the life of the gearhead.
What is backlash?
There is no standard for testing backlash in the market. This leads to confusion and specification issues. ELECTROMATE

• Reason’s why some backlash ratings are not accurate. • 1) Zero backlash claims: For the reasons outlined on the previous slides, zero backlash is
not possible in a planetary design. This is usually rounded down from a specification of <1 arc-min.
• 2) Average value measurements: Some manufacturers may take an average of 4 or more points on the output shaft to come up with a backlash spec. For example, a unit with backlash measurements of 4, 6, 10 and 12 would have a rating of 8 arc-min. By Micron’s standard, this is a 12 arc-min measurement.
• 3) Lower Torque measurements: Instead of using 2% of the rated toque, some manufacturers may use 0.5% or less. Using a lower applied torque will produce a better backlash measurement.
• 4) “Out of the box” ratings: Backlash will increase over time. This is why Micron’s backlash is guaranteed for the life of the gearhead. Many competitors may send you an 8 arc-min gearhead but after six months, the backlash is up to 15. Knowing the accuracy of their machine over its lifetime is an important specification for most customers.
Troubleshooting - Backlash

Ex/ Just because a competitor has 2 arc-min in their catalog, does not mean it is more accurate than a 4 arc-min Micron product. ELECTROMATE

Troubleshooting – Ratio Selection
Gear Ratio = #teeth on ring gear +1 #teeth on pinion gear
10:1 - Highest ratio available in single stage planetary design, torque limited by smaller size of 10:1 pinion gear.
3:1 - Lowest ratio available in single stage planetary design, output torque limited by smaller 3:1 planet gears, speed limited by larger size of 3:1 pinion gear.
4:1 to 8:1 – Optimal pinion and planet gear size, higher performance and longer life. >10:1 – Additional planetary stage would normally add to length and price. < 3:1 – Not possible with a planetary design since it would require the pinion and
outer ring gear to be the same diameter (no room for planet gears).
3:1 5:1 10:1 Failure Mode Failure Mode
Every ratio has different gearing, noise levels and other performance characteristics. ELECTROMATEToll Free Phone (877) SERVO98

Troubleshooting - Noise
Are you experiencing higher than expected noise from your current gearhead solution?
Factors that contribute to gearhead noise: Input Speed Gearhead Ratio Output Torque Radial and axial loads Mounting errors ***
Following the proper mounting procedure is critical to
minimizing noise and maximizing performance. Many gearheads (Micron included) need to be mounted to the
servo motor in a vertical orientation first. This allows the motor shaft to center the gearhead. After being mounted to the motor, it can be used in any orientation.
Vertical Mounting
Vertical mounting is critical for any Micron product. ELECTROMATEToll Free Phone (877) SERVO98

Change is coming…
• A growing concern over cross contamination, salmonella and other hygienic problems have driven stricter guidelines. What was once acceptable to this market no longer is in many cases.
• In the past painted or nickel plated solutions were commonly used. Now
stainless steel has become a must. • More applications are driving to an IP66, or 69K requirement rather than
the typical IP65. • Square housings with corners and chamfers are no longer acceptable
and round housings with smooth surfaces are specified. • FDA approved grease is critical. • Label, tags or any difficult to clean accessories are restricted.

Heat-Treat Process
Micron Feature - Case Hardened Gears to HRC60
Micron Advantage – Case Hardened Gears have over 30 times the hardness depth when compared to the plasma nitride process used by several of our competitors. This “hard shell” over a soft gear will not hold up to the peak torque of a case hardened gear.
Customer Benefit - You can transmit more torque in a smaller package. Save space and $$ by achieving your application requirements in the smallest package. Longer life, lower replacement costs.
Fact: Gears with higher level or hardness will have less wear and will last longer. ELECTROMATEToll Free Phone (877) SERVO98
