This design manual covers the design of fine and coarse pitchcylindrical wormgearing operating at right angles and primarilymade as gear sets to be incorporated into other machines andmechanisms. Many of the design procedures are also incorporated inenclosed drives.
Uses of wormgearing
Wormgearing is used on applications transmitting very smallamounts of power up to 1000 HP (746KW) and 10 lb in (1.13Nm) up to3 000 000 lb in (339 000 Nm) output torques. Worm speeds can varyfrom 0 to 10 000 rpm, depending on size. Design of wormgearingvaries with its specific uses and application requirements.Wormgearing used in an indexing mechanism of a machining center hasdifferent requirements from a conveyer drive in a steel mill.
