Given:

Pressure Angle = 14.5 deg

Power transmitted = 25 hp
N1= 2500 RPM
N2 = 12 RPM
Center distance = 700 mm

Find:

First find Velocity Ratio,

Substituting,
2500
V . R .=

V . R .=208.33

Solving for Pitch Circle Diameter of the worm ( DW ),

( x )0.875
DW =
1.416
Substituting,
( 700 )0.875
DW =
1.416
D W =217.97 mm=218 mm

Solving for Pitch Circle Diameter of the worm gear ( DG ),

DG =2 x−D W
DG =2(700)−218
DG =1182mm
According to Table 31.2,

Since V.R. is above 36, n=1

Solving for number of teeth on worm gear,

T G=n x V . R
T G=1 x 208.33
T G=209
Since axial pitch of the threads on the worm ( pa ) is equal to circular pitch of teeth on the
worm gear ( pc ),
π Dg
pa = p c =
Tg
Substituting,
π x 1182 mm
pa = p c =
209
pa= p c =17.77 mm
Solving for module,

pc
m=
π
Substituting,
17.77
m=
π
m=5.66 mm=6 mm
Solving for actual circular pitch,
pc =π x m
Substituting,
pc =π x 6 mm
pc =18.85 mm
Solving for Actual Pitch Circle Diameter of the Worm Gear,
pc x T G
DG =
π

Substituting,
18.85 x 209
DG =
π
D G =1254.03 mm

Solving for Actual Pitch Circle Diameter of the worm gear ( D G),
DW =2 x−D G
DW =2 ( 700 mm ) −1254.03 mm
D W =145.97 mm
Solving for face width of the worm gear,
b=0.73 D W
b=0.73 x 145.97 mm
b=106.56 mm=107 mm

Static load or endurance strength

Since power transmitted is more than the given power, the design is safe from standpoint
of dynamic load.
