Worm Gear Design
Worm Gear Design
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to design a worm gear set to have a torque rating of around 200ft-lbs. I was looking at a 360:1 ratio. The gear needs to be 10-12" in diameter. Since weight is an issue, Aluminum is prefered. Is this a feasible design? I was looking at double enveloping worm gears, but don't really know how to design it.
Thanks

RE: Worm Gear Design
would like to design it for you, if you give the
specifications, such as input torque/output torque,
ratio et. al. They will come up with the detailed
dimensions et. al.
