Smaller anti backlash gears for
precision devices
Development engineers at Reliance saw a need for smaller anti backlash gears to be used with the latest miniature angular feedback devices and developed the range accordingly
Although Reliance Gear Co of Huddersfield have been in the fine pitch high precision gear market for over forty years they have never lost sight of the need to evolve and develop their range of parametric standard parts to suit the demands of an ever changing market place One example of this is the recently introduced anti backlash pinion range

Wider gear range than ever from Reliance Gear
The standard gear range from Reliance Gear now has pitches ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mod metric and includes stainless hardened gears, designed to be used in higher torque, longer life applications
Wider range of shaft couplings announced
Reliance Gear Co of Huddersfield has now enhanced its range of standard products by the introduction of a further range of precision mechanical couplings with bore sizes ranging from 3mm up to 12mm
Development engineers at Reliance saw a need for smaller anti backlash gears to be used with the latest miniature angular feedback devices and developed the range accordingly, with anti-backlash pinions now available with outer diameters as small as 11.6mm.
The range has also been extended to include stainless hardened gears, which are designed to be used in higher torque, longer life applications and are ideal for the medical and aerospace industries.
Reliance also have a unique, bi-directional dynamic transmission angle measuring facility which is used for inspection of individual gears during manufacture and for certifying the performance of completed assemblies.
The test results relate directly to the in-service performance requirement suited for high precision applications such as digital scanning, high resolution printing and radar position feedback.
Other specialist applications include rotary gas meters and inductive pick off systems.
The standard gear range has pitches ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mod metric (16-120 DP imperial).
The gears are designed to be interfaced with all standard components in the Reliance catalogue, thus offering the design engineer a reliable and experienced single source for all geared mechanisms.
