Backlash
A condition where a machine part can move independently of the part
driving it e.g. a gear that can rotate freely a slight distance without
being obstructed by the pinion, or a pulley that can rotate slightly to
take up slackness in a belt. Backlash is caused by looseness in a drive
train and leads to motion inaccuracy.
Balanced
The condition where the axis of rotation and mass centerline of a
rotating part are coincident. See also Unbalance.
Balancing
The adjustment of the mass distribution in a rotating part so that the
axis of rotation and mass centerline of the rotating part are coincident.
