What is clearance? What is backlash? What is interference? Explain briefly.

Clearance:

For easy matching and dis matching of hole and shaft we use size of hole little bit more than the size of shaft and this difference in size is called clearance.

Backlash:

It is the clearance between the two mating gear to avoids failure of gears. Actually when temperature of gears increases then at the same time the size of gear also increases, due this there is a possibility foe jamming of gears so to avoids this backlash is provides.

Interference:

When two gears are matting then addendum of one gear inters into the deddendum of another gear and due to this gears get jam. This phenomenon is called interference.
