Problems 10-19 and 10-20 COMPARISON OF THREE PROPOSED DESIGNS
Summary See details on the preceding three spreadsheets
Given data:
Diametral pitch, Pd = 12
Assumed gear is made from chilled cast phosphor bronze
Allowable bending stress = 24,000 psi
Results: DESIGN
A B C
Number of threads in worm: 1 2 4
Output torque (lb-in), To = 202 484 878
Comments on results:
The given face width is small. Could use F > 0.601 in to maximize effective face width.
Worm diameter is too large for Design A. See Equations 10-52 and 10-53
Worm diameter is too small for Design C. See Equations 10-52 and 10-53
Design A is limited by surface durability
Designs B and C are limited by bending stress in gear teeth.
As number of threads in worm increases:
Lead angle increases
