The high-end economy lines GSN & GFE combine high performance with economic efficiency: both lines are also equipped with helical ground gears, ensuring a minimum noise level and smooth running. The full needle bearing has been especially made to reach high torques that beat the competition for products of the same size. All planetary carriers are manufactured as a cage created from solid material. This increases silent operating characteristics while at exactly the same time improving positioning accuracy and reducing backlash. Yet another shaft sealing ring ensures maximum dirt and splash water safety in accordance with protection class IP65 in every lines.
One way to reduce backlash is to use precision gears. The focus on production in precision gears is usually tighter tolerances, so all around the gear will be a tighter, more specific match. And the tighter suit means less play in the gear teeth, which may be the cause of backlash in the first place. Of course, precision gears are more costly, but if the application calls for high accuracy, then precision gearing could be the way to go.
From a equipment design perspective, a simple way to reduce backlash is to ensure one’s teeth mesh tightly together. That is typically done by shortening the center distance between gears. As for pre-loading, this could be done utilizing a spring mechanism to hold the gears firmly in place. This also eliminates the play between your gear teeth and thus eliminates backlash.
Of 
course, the type of gears used may also have a large impact on the amount of backlash. So for example, some gear types such as stress wave gears, or harmonic equipment drives, possess zero backlash.
The GSD, GSB & GSBL high-end gearbox lines are constructed in a space-optimized, two-stage design. Due to the lower torque ideals, the input stage is usually dimensionally smaller than the result stage. Its short design makes the GSD range the perfect high-end gearbox for space restricted applications. The low regular backlash of the GSD series makes it the perfect fit for highly dynamic applications where highest positioning and swiftness accuracy is required. The flange output creates highest torsional rigidity. For the accommodation of particularly high axial loads, taper roller bearings are elective in sizes with 90 mm diameter or higher. The GSB line means high performance in combination with low backlash and high precision. Its robust, one-piece housing allows for a higher gearbox rigidity and the absorption of high radial and axial loads. The angular gearboxes of the GSBL collection provide same advantages as the GSB range; the right angle form makes the GSBL series the perfect match for all powerful applications where space is limited.
