However, their shortcomings particularly include defciencies in the achievable positioning and path accuracy. The backlash as one of the main issues is well described in the literature and numerous solutions to reduce its negative efects exist. In contrast, there is a lack of literature regarding the scientifc and systematic analysis of the transmission errors in rack-and-pinion drives. In this paper, the displacements originating in the drive train of a system with industrial components are measured under diferent operating conditions. The observed transmission errors are thoroughly analyzed in no-load operation and their sources are discussed. Subsequent investigations show signifcant load-dependent alterations of the transmission errors and direction-dependent characteristics, the causes of which are explained. It is shown, that transmission errors negatively afect the path accuracy of position controlled drives, which is amplifed by excitation of the machine structure in certain operating conditions. To address this issue, diferent error compensation concepts are presented.
