WORM GEARING

Product catalog summary
Spiral Bevel Gears of the Gleason System
  • Specifications: The document details calculations for spiral bevel gears, focusing on parameters such as shaft angle, radial module, pressure angles, spiral angle, and number of teeth. It highlights the necessity of matching left and right hands in gear pairs.
  • Key Parameters: Includes pitch diameter, cone angles, face width, addendum, dedendum, and various angles related to gear geometry.
Worm Mesh
  • Overview: Worm meshes connect skew shafts, typically at 90 degrees, offering high velocity ratios and load capacity due to line contact.
  • Geometry: The worm tooth form is often a V-type screw thread, with the worm gear having a helical lead. The central section reveals a rack-type tooth for the worm and a curved involute tooth form for the worm gear.
  • Tooth Proportions: Worm tooth dimensions follow standards similar to spur and helical gears, with high pressure angles favored.
  • Number of Threads: Worms can have multiple threads, characterized by the number of threads, zw.
  • Pitch Diameters and Lead Angle: Formulas are provided for calculating pitch diameters and lead angles based on the number of threads and teeth.
Cylindrical Worm Gear Calculations
  • Types of Worms: Four types of worm tooth profiles are defined, with Type III being the most popular.
  • Module Systems: Equations for axial and normal module system worm gears are provided, with standard values for modules and pressure angles.
  • Crowning: Crowning methods are discussed to improve tooth contact and lubrication, with four methods outlined, though only the first is commonly used.
Self-Locking of Worm Mesh
  • Feature: Self-locking prevents the worm from being driven by the worm gear, useful in applications like lifting where reverse slipping is undesirable.
Specifications and Governing Conditions:
The document discusses the driving force acting on worm gear tooth surfaces, focusing on the tangential driving force (Fu1) without considering losses from bearing friction or lubricant agitation. The formula for Fu1 is given as Fu1 = Fn (cosαn sinγ – µ cosγ), where αn is the normal pressure angle, γ is the lead angle of the worm, µ is the coefficient of friction, and Fn is the normal driving force.

Self-Locking Conditions:
For self-locking to occur, Fu1 must be less than or equal to zero. The critical limit for self-locking is expressed as (cos20° sinγ – µcosγ) ≤ 0 when αn is 20°. The document notes the difficulty in determining the exact coefficient of friction and the impact of additional factors like bearing and lubricant losses. A smaller lead angle γ increases the likelihood of self-locking.

Figures and Tables:

When the spiral angle B > m = 0, the bevel gear is called a Zerol bevel gear. The calculation equations of Table Figure 8-12 8-2 for Gleason straight bevel gears are applicable. They also should take care again of the rule of hands; left and right of a pair must be matched. is a left-hand Zerol bevel gear.

See Figure 9-1 . Worm meshes are characterized by high velocity ratios. Also, they offer the advantage of higher load capacity associated with their line contact in contrast to the point contact of the crossed-helical mesh.

WORM GEARING-2

9.1.1 Worm Tooth Proportions Worm tooth dimensions, such as addendum, dedendum, pressure angle, etc., follow the same standards as those for spur and helical gears. The standard values apply to the central section of the mesh. See Figure 9-3a . A high pressure angle is favored and in some applications values as high as 25 and 30а are used. Figure 9-2 , reveals a rack-type tooth of the worm, and a curved involute tooth form for the worm gear. However, the involute features are only true for the central section. Sections on either side of the worm axis re- veal nonsymmetric and noninvolute tooth...
