backlashAn overrun of a revolving-spool reel, such as a bait-cast reel, which in turn causes the line to billow off the reel and tangle.

backlashThe lost motion or looseness (play) between the faces of meshing gears or threads.

backlashIn a mechanical system, backlash is the relative motion between two devices, connected by a coupler, gear, screw, etc.

backlashThis is the amount of movement the machine can make without moving the motor. Provision is made on all Esprit machines to reduce this to a minimum by the use of very low or virtually zero backlash gea [..]

backlashThe “slop” felt in a mechanical system, typically when the system reverses direction. Parts require clearances to assemble correctly, and these clearances can be felt in moving assemblies. (Wikipedia) [..]

backlashA relative movement between interacting mechanical parts, resulting from looseness.

backlashThe play caused by loose connections between mechanical components. Backlash becomes a problem when an axis changes direction. When a motor turns, it pushes all the gears together in one direction. Wh [..]

backlashBacklash (measured in degrees) is when a camera’s Pan Tilt head cannot stop instantaneously, and is usually caused by excessive looseness in gears, pulleys, or other parts. Pre set PTZ surveillance cameras are rendered ineffectual by Backlash.

backlashA component of bidirectional repeatability. The lost motion or looseness (play) between the balls in the nut and the threads on the screw. In the case of ballscrews, it refers to how much the ballnut can be moved back and forth without moving along the length of the screw.
