TUTORIAL-4

Aim:-To study about worm and worm wheel.

(1)Explain with neat sketch force analysis of worm and worm gear.
-

Three forces are acting on worm and worm wheel.

1.Tangential force (Fw)t

2.Axial force (Fw)a
3.Radial force (Fw)r

1. Tangential force
Tangential force can be determined by input power. Its magnitude,

1.Tangential force
Axial force of worm is the tangential force of worm gear.
(Fg)t = (Fw)a
2.Axial force
Axial force of worm wheel equal to tangential force of worm wheel.
(Fg)a = (Fw)t
3. Radial force
Radial force equal to the worm wheel,
(Fg)r = (Fw)r

(2)A Pair of Worm and Worm Wheel Design as 2/52/10/4 and 10KW.Power at 720rpm
supplied to worm shaft. The coefficient of friction 0.04 and presser angle

The worm wheel is made of sand cast ,while worm wheel is made of case hardened
carbon steel. determine power transmitting capacity based on beam strength and wear
