Hi All
I am having difficulty in determining the torque required to back drive a worm and wheel gearbox. I have calculated the efficiency of the gearbox when the worm is driving and when the wheel is driving.
I understand that when the efficiency of the wheel driving is less than zero the gearbox will not backdrive, however there must be an input torque at which you can force the wheel to turn the worm.
Does anyone know how to calculate this? Any help would be appreciated.
