Worms and Worm Gears3 ME350 .Worm and worm gears connect nonparallel,non- intersecting a axes. .Worm is similar to a screw thread,having one or a few teeth .Helix angle is very large. .Worm mates with a special gear called a worm gear or worm wheel Analogous to a nut being advanced by the thread of the worm. .Their axes are typically at 90 degrees to one another. 24
ME 350 24 Worms and Worm Gears 3 •Worm and worm gears connect nonparallel, nonintersecting axes. •Worm is similar to a screw thread, having one or a few teeth •Helix angle is very large. •Worm mates with a special gear called a worm gear or worm wheel ¾Analogous to a nut being advanced by the thread of the worm. •Their axes are typically at 90 degrees to one another
Worms and Worm Gears3 ME350 .The worm set can give very large gear ratios (up to about 360:1)in a compact package Because of the small number of teeth on the worm. .If the lead angle of the worm is small enough ( about 6 degree)the worm set can be self-locking In other words,it cannot be back-driven from the worm gear,i.e.it will hold a load. 25
