The aim of this paper is to solve the chattering and delayed response problems caused by gear backlash. In the gear mechanism based systems, for example, in robot systems, the actuators provide the reduction gear with motors to transfer effectively electric power to mechanical power. Therefore, the gear backlash exists and is an unavoidable fact which makes many undesirable problems. In this paper, the authors try to make a solution for this issue and, introduce several control methods which are PID only, PID with Smith predictor and super-twisting algorithm based SMC(sliding mode control). Each control method is applied to the real plant in which strong backlash is included. By comparison results, it is clear that SMC gives the best control performance with little backlash effects. Also, the usefulness and effectiveness of proposed control method is verified by experiment.

In rotating systems, backlash impose limitations on the quality of control. System with gear is an example where this is a well-known limitation. In order to increase the controller performance, we design a fuzzy system to compensate the backlash effect. We prove that under certain conditions the fuzzy compensator guarantees that the backlash output converges to the desired trajectory. Simulation results show that the fuzzy compensator is robust to the backlash parameter.

Backlash between meshing gear teeth causes impact, tracking error and undesired vibrations. It is usually minimized by precision gear, spring-loaded anti-backlash gears and precise mechanical adjustment. Although these techniques can help to reduce the backlash gap, its cost is relatively high and performance is limited. And the classic controller is insufficient to control the dynamic system with nonlinearity. For these reason, a fuzzy controller is proposed to compensate the backlash effect at a robot system. The input variables are position error and change in error. The output variable can be defined by input voltage of motor. The performance of a fuzzy controller is verified by comparing with a PID controller. The results show that the undesired vibration is suppressed. And then diminishing the position error is observed.

A unique technique to estimate the magnitude or contribution ratio of each stage backlash in a system with a two-stage gear reducer is proposed. The concept to estimate the magnitude or contribution ratio of each stage backlash is based on the change of frequency response characteristic, in particular, the change of anti-resonant frequency and resonant frequency, due to the change of each stage backlash magnitude, even though the total backlash magnitude of a system with a two-stage gear reducer is constant. The validity of the technique is verified in a seeker gimbal and satisfactory results are obtained. It is thought that the diagnosis and maintenance of the manufacturing machines and systems with two-stage gear reducers will become more efficient and economical by virtue of the proposed technique.

Korea is the best country for ship-building. But nowadays, the speedboat and yacht are not mostly developed yet. For the sleek lines of ship, more innovative transmission system should be obtained in the ship industry. In general, marine transmissions often use the straight shafts and the helical gears. So it makes problem that engine-room requires large space. In this case, conical gear is the best solution for this. Until now, technology of conical gear is not generalized, but it will be increased more through many applications. So, in order to get conical gear design technology by ourselves, this thesis is conducted. This paper was written to gain useful information of marine gearbox design applied conical gear through the measurement of backlash, computer analysis and tooth contact test of helical conical involute gear pairs.

In this correspondence, an new approach to design a fuzzy controller for system with uncertain output backlash to have good tracking performance is presented. Without using a compensation mechanism or backlash inverse, the fuzzy control mechanism is designed to implicitly compensate the delay effect arising from an uncertain output backlash and to make the output backlash stable without limit cycles. The proposed method designs a model-based fuzzy controller for a one-input one-output linear plant with output backlash. The effectiveness of the designed fuzzy controller is illustrated by the simulation.

In mechanical system, gear trains have backlash innately. With the presence of inherent backlash, the overall system performance is limited in many practical control systems. It has been reported that a disturbance observer has the property of effective removing disturbance and cutting measurement noise off. The plant is remodeled with modified disturbance observer to observe and compensate backlash characteristics. And this paper describes a method to design Q filter and to analyze the effects of disturbance and measurement noise to the output. It is shown that the vibration and tracking error caused by backlash were decreased and the time constant and relative degree are important factor to design Q filter.

Recently, 3D printer technologies have been used in many research efforts for high precision manufacturing. In particular, the rapid prototyping technology has been developing rapidly, because it can be manufactured in a short time with a 3D designed shape. This paper relates to the production characteristics of the straight bevel gear designed using a 3D print using the PolyJet method. The characteristics of a 3D printed straight bevel gear were compared with a machined straight bevel gear. The accuracy of the produced straight bevel gear was evaluated by backlash, meshing pattern, face angle, root angle, and surface roughness.

The rattle noise is the most significant in many kinds of manual gearbox noises, which is generated at the idle stage of the engine operation. The main torsional vibration source of the driveline is the fluctuation of the engine torque. The gear rattle is impacts generating in the backlash of the free gear due to this torsional vibration. Many researchers reported the clutch torsional characteristic optimization method to reduce the idle gear rattle but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the system parameters like gear backlash, drag torque, system inertia, inertia distribution, engine torque fluctuation, idle engine rotation speed, and accessory load. This paper pays attention to the gear impact mechanism and system design parameters to reduce the idle gear rattle with computer simulation.

The main torsional vibration source of the driveline is the fluctuation of the engine torque. The gear rattle is generated by an impact in the backlash due to this torsional vibration. Optimization of the clutch torsional characteristic is one of the effective methods to reduce the idle gear rattle. Many researches have been reported on this problem but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the detail clutch modeling and clutch design parameters (stiffness, hysteresis torque, preload, first stage length). This paper pays attention to the gear impact mechanism and clutch design parameters to reduce the idle gear rattle with computer simulation.
