Abstract
Abstract
An optimization model is constructed to select the optimum reduction ratios that minimize the total angular backlash of a gear train, under constraints on the total reduction ratio and available space. It is found that a proper layout of reduction ratios has a major effect on the total angular backlash of a gear train.
