    Worm Gear Sizing Calculations: Application Information

    Uploaded by

    Ramkrishna Sonavane
    The document provides specifications for sizing a worm gear, including an input speed of 1725 rpm, center distance of 5.5 inches, pressure angle of 20 degrees, number of teeth on the worm and gear, gear ratio, diameters, lead, and other factors. Calculations are shown to determine the tangential load on the worm gear, friction force, power ratings, efficiency, and torque output. The results are also compared to Buckingham's wear equation.

    Materials Factor (Cs)


    C <= 3 in Cs= 1995

    sand-cast
    dG <= 2.5 in Cs= 1000
    dG > 2.5 in Cs= 735
    chilled-cast
    dG <= 2.5 in Cs= 1000
    dG > 2.5 in Cs= 977

    centrifugally cast
    dG <= 2.5 in Cs= 1000
    dG > 2.5 in Cs= 1079

    Ratio Correction Factor (Cm)

    3< mG <=20 Cm= Err:502 if mG is >20 then this cell


    20< mG <=76 Cm= 0.653
    mG > 76 Cm= 0.655

    Velocity Factor (Cv)


    Vs < 700 ft/min Cv= 0.241
    700<=Vs<3000 ft/min Cv= 0.271
    Vs > 3000 ft/min Cv= 0.335

    Coefficient of Friction (f)


    Vs = 0 f= 0.15
    0 < Vs <= 10 ft/min f= 0.000304
    Vs > 10 ft/min f= 0.021678
    if mG is >20 then this cell will say #NUM!
