A Review on Design and Efficiency Improvement of Worm and Worm Wheel of a Gear Motor

Abstract

Geometry and operating standards determines that worm drives are critical components in and of applications within the power transmission industry. In one reduction point, it is used in large drive ratios with compact assembly dimensions. Worm and worm wheels are provided with a quiet operation owing to the movement of slipping between the worm and worm wheels tooth flanks. Its efficiency depends significantly on the thickness of the lubricating film, which in turn is dependent on various operating parameters. The different researchers have performed detailed research in the field of worm and worm wheel construction. Many researchers have developed and suggested methods for the prediction of worm and worm wheel gearbox performance with respect to different factors such as tribology, analytic and geometry. This paper includes a comprehensive literary analysis to obtain thorough knowledge of trends in the fields of worm and worm gears.
