Worm Gear Design Procedure

The document outlines a 15 step design procedure for worm gears that includes: 1) Calculating gear ratio and speeds, selecting materials, and calculating design torque. 2) Selecting number of starts and teeth based on required efficiency. 3) Calculating design bending and contact stresses. 4) Iteratively revising stresses, torque, center distance, and dimensions until design is verified for bending, wear, and efficiency requirements.

11. Revision of design torque


Revised [Mt]
From Page no:8.15
Design torque [Mt] = Mt k kd
60 𝑃
Mt= 2 𝜋 𝑁
