GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / backlash (aviation)
English term or phrase: backlash
Is there a different meaning for backlash in the aviation context?
I know it means "folga", most of the time, but I am insecure about the meaning in my present context. Here is goes:

The maximum distance that the flange can travel until it is engaged in contact with one of the braking members is known as the “backlash” associated with the no-back device. It may be necessary to adjust the backlash of the no-back device due to operational requirements and/or to account for wear in the device (e.g. wearing of the braking materials over time may increase the backlash). The present disclosure seeks to provide an improved no-back device that allows for a more convenient method for adjusting the backlash associated therewith.
