Hi,

I put a question in thread237-164391

I think that someone in here may be better prepared to answer than my motor friends. Pls go there and see if you can help.

I have used 95% effic for most gears. Worm gearing may run at lower effic approaching 50%.
 
If it's spur gears lubricated then an efficiency of 98% per set could be used. Poor lubrication then 95%.
