Abstract: The design and simulation of meshing of a single enveloping worm-gear drive with a localized bearing contact is considered. The bearing contact has a longitudinal direction and two branches of ...

Abstract: The worm and worm-gear tooth surfaces of existing worm-gear drive designs are in line contact at every instant and the gear drive is very sensitive to misalignment. Errors of alignment cause ...

Abstract: A methodology is proposed for the modification of gear tooth surfaces that reduces the impact of gear drive misalignment, the shift of the bearing contact (accompanied in some cases with edge ...
