Transmitted load Wt is the tangential load

It is the useful component of force, transmitting

the torque
POWER IN SPUR GEARING
Transmitted power H

Pitch-line velocity is the linear velocity of a point on the gear at the

radius of the pitch circle. It is a common term in tabulating gear data.

Relative motion in worm gearing is sliding action
Friction is much more significant than in other types of gears
Including friction components, can be expanded to

Combining Equations, we get

 FORCE ANALYSIS – WORM GEARING
Efficiency is defined as

From Eq. (13–45) with f = 0 in the numerator,

 FORCE ANALYSIS – WORM GEARING
With typical value of f = 0.05, and fn = 20º, efficiency as a function of lead angle
is given in the table.

Coefficient of friction is dependent on

relative or sliding velocity VS
VG is pitch line velocity of gear
VW is pitch line velocity of worm

Graph shows representative values
Curve A is for when more friction is expected, such as when gears are
cast iron
Curve B is for high-quality materials
