Hello,
I am a novice at worm gear design and need a bit of help. I am attempting to select a worm gear combination that has the following parameters.
I am rotating a drum that has a 40" moment arm with 800 pounds of force from the center. The diameter of the drum is 96". I need to spin the drum at 1.6 RPMs.
The current worm gear setup is a 12" diameter gear with a 100:1 ratio. The gear face is 3/4". I feel this setup is highly overstressed and needs to be upgraded but I unfamiliar with the math.
If anyone can assist me with this, it would be well appreciated.
Thanks, ChuckOU812
