Visualization and analysis of worm gear drives efficiency and load capacity

  • 1 University of Ruse “Angel Kanchev”, Bulgaria

Abstract

Scientific methodologies have been created and applied during the analysis upon worm gear drives. Important parameters have been selected in order to make significant investigations in the area of worm gear efficiency and load capacity. The efficiency coefficient and maximal torque values have been studied for several combinations of modules, ratios, center distances, etc. The results have been presented and analysed through three-dimensional graphics. Conclusions are made.
