Abstract
While many geometrical studies on the hourglass worm gear have been reported, there are few studies on its intensity. In this study, the stress distribution in the direction of the tooth trace of the modified Hindley-type worm gear used now was analyzed by the three-dimensional photoelastic method. As a result, it was shown that the root stress distribution in the direction of the tooth trace in normal setting becomes higher on both the tension side and compression side at the part of throat. However by setting the worm shaft to the ending side or starting side, the stress distribution becomes lower than that in the normal setting state.
