Backlash can be defined as a rotational arc clearance formed between a pair of mounted gears. A backlash (clearance) is crucial to any Gear set for checking the damages caused by the gear tooth interference. Lack of backlash causes the following problems: * Noise * Overloading * Overheating of gears and bearings * Seizing and failure Backlash amount gets measured by limiting the rotation of one member, that generally is the pinion, while measuring the other component's rotational movement at a reference radius. Backlash is usually defined in arc degrees (min/sec). The arc movement measurement thus obtained is converted to degrees by applying the following equation:

Backlash (degrees) = Arc Movement (inches) x 57.296/Radius (inches)

The following table gives the American Gear Manufacturer's Association specified Backlash range for Coarse pitch Spur, Helical and Herringbone type of gears.

How do you check ring and pinion backlash with a dial indicator?

To check ring and pinion backlash with a dial indicator, first secure the dial indicator to a stable point on the differential housing, ensuring the probe touches the ring gear tooth. Rotate the ring gear back and forth to find the point of maximum backlash, noting the dial indicator's reading at this point. The measurement should typically be within the specified backlash range for the gear set. Adjust the gears as necessary to achieve the correct backlash if the measurement is outside the acceptable range.


Setting backlash on a1982 Jeep CJ7 rear end gears?

To set the backlash on a 1982 Jeep CJ7 rear end gears, first, ensure the differential is clean and properly lubricated. Use a dial indicator to measure the backlash by rotating the pinion gear slightly and noting the movement of the ring gear. The typical backlash specification for CJ7 rear ends is usually between 0.006 to 0.010 inches, but refer to the service manual for exact values. Adjust the ring gear positioning by tightening or loosening the adjusting nuts on the carrier until the desired backlash is achieved.
