# Backlash and output positioning # Scope: Small-angle conversion of tangential backlash to angular lost motion. # Status: illustrative worked example; engineering review pending. # Inputs are example values. Checks are editable example requirements, not standards. backlash = 0.1 mm pitchRadius = 25 mm angle := backlash/pitchRadius [rad] check angular budget: angle <= 0.5 deg scenario alternative: backlash = 0.08 mm
