worm gear
worm gear
(OP)
Hi all,
Please refer to the attached dia.
I have a worm (gear) resting in a housing (having same helixal gear pattern as worm) and housing is fixed. Worm can rotate and move along its axis. When only axial force in the worm gear shaft(long shaft) are induced, i just want to find by what axial force the worm starts to rotate in the housing ?
material is steel(worm & housing), friction between steel-steel approx. 0.15, what factors influence the rotation of the worm ?
is it possible to calculate by hand, by what force worm starts to rotate in the housing?
thanks in advance[img ]

Big clue, it won't be a force that makes it start rotating, it'll either rotate or it won't, if you are using a linear friction model.
