1. Geometric design and strength check of worm gear. Application is developed in MS Excel, is multi-language and supports Imperial and Metric units and solves the following main tasks: - Calculation of gearing dimensions.
  2. Single-envelop worm gear sets contain a worm gear with a concave tooth width, allowing the worm drive to nestle into the gear and increasing efficiency. Image credit: Stepan Lunin. Double-envelop worm gear sets contain both a word gear with a concave tooth width, and a worm drive with a concave profile. This design maximizes efficiency.

D1 – Pitch Diameter of Worm

D2 – Pitch Diameter of Gear

C – Centre to Centre Distance between the Worm and the Gear

This worm gear design tutorial will discuss up to the selection of the module and pitch and the calculation of the number of teeth, pitch circle diameter and centre to centre distance between the worm and gear. We will use the AGMA formulae for doing the calculations. Design calculations of the other aspects of the worm gear will be discussed in a subsequent part of the tutorial.

Steps of the Design Calculation

  • The axial pitch of the worm and the circular pitch of the gear must be same for a mating worm and gear. We will use the term Pitch (P) for both the pitch in this tutorial.
  • Also, the module of the worm as well as the gear must be equal for a mating worm and gear.
  • Now, let’s say we have the following design input:

Speed of the Worm (N1) = 20 RPM

Speed of the Gear (N2) = 4 RPM

  • And, we have to find out the Module (m), Pitch (P), Number of helix of Worm (T1), Number of teeth of Gear (T2), Pitch circle diameter of Worm (D1), Pitch circle diameter of Gear (D2), Centre to centre distance(C).
  • Select the suitable module and its corresponding pitch from the following AGMA specified table:

Module m (in MM) – Pitch P (in MM)

N1/N2 = T2/T1

And, we will get:

T2 = 5 * T1……………….Eqn.1

T1 + T2 > 40………………Eqn.2

T1 = 7 andT2 = 35

D1 = 2.4 P + 1.1

= 16.0712 mm

D2 = T2*P/3.14

= 69.53185 mm

C = (D1 + D2)/2

= 42.80152 mm

Worm Gear Design Formula

(C^0.875)/2 <= D1 <= (C^0.875)/1.07

Observe that our D1 value is falling in the range.

Conclusion

The worm gear box design calculation explained here uses the AGMA empirical formulas. A few worm gear design calculator are available on web, and some of them are free as well.

In the next worm gear box design calculation tutorial we will discuss the force analysis of a worm gear box.
