    worm gear addendum and dedendum, clearance, center distance

    I'm designing a worm gearbox and have questions regarding some design issues. The machinery handbook has equations for whole tooth depth W=a+b (addendum plus dedendum of the worm) and it also equals A+B (addendum and dedendum of the worm gear). Is that to say a=A and b=B, or is it just their...

    Helical Gear with Worm

    I'm currently designing a 90 degree worm gearbox. Center distance (2.066") and (approximate 10:1) ratio is known. I'd like to use a P/M helical gear with the worm instead of a hobbed bronze or brass worm gear. I cannot find much information with this combination. How do I spec out a helical...
