@hydtools: thanks for your response. somehow i don't think that formula will allow me to calculate the torque. initially, it seems as though the calculation would be straight-forward, however, there are missing variables that seem to be required. i may be wrong, but it certainly seems so...
I have been trying to figure out how to determine the output torque of a worm and pinion combination, to no avail.
The input torque, pitch of the pinion worm, the radius of the gear wheel, as well as the number of teeth on said wheel all play into the calculation. I just don't know how to put...
