Backlash, predetermine it in the design

Backlash, predetermine it in the design

Backlash, predetermine it in the design

(OP)
I am working on a transmission consisting of an electrical drive motor driving a helical pinion.  The pinion turns a helical gear connected to a spiral bevel pinion.  The spiral bevel pinion turns a spiral bevel gear that is connected to an output drive shaft.  A spline connection is used at the spiral bevel pinion and drive shaft.
Can the backlash be predetermined?  Is there reference material to calculate the backlash?

RE: Backlash, predetermine it in the design

We got it in the specs from the gear maker, along with about 30 other toleranced dimensions, including center distance.
