Abstract
Backlash or gear play has been the subject of research to control engineers for many years. Its appearance is quite common in control systems with mechanical connections (e.g. gears). In contrast to other nonlinearities in electro-mechanical control systems, e.g. friction or eccentricities, backlash acts as a structure-switching nonlinearity. This means that during time periods when the two components of the backlash containing mechanical parts do not engage, the whole system is split into two decoupled subsystems. This causes special problems in the control of such systems. A model of backlash is shown in figure 8.1.
