Influence of Geometrical Parameters on Rigidity of the Worm-Gearing Tooth

Abstract

By means of an original numerical method, the authors study the influence of the parameters of the worm-gearing tooth (diametral quotient, radius of profile curvature, profile angle of the worm, number of gear teeth) on its rigidity. The goal of this study is optimization of the geometrical parameters from the viewpoint of rigidity. The computerization simulation was applied to 150 worm-gear drives
