Velocity Ratio of Worm and Worm Wheel, if Worm has Multiple Threads

LaTeX Go Velocity Ratio = (Diameter of Effort Wheel*Number of Teeth on Worm Wheel)/(2*Number of Threads*Radius of Load Drum)

Velocity Ratio of Worm and Worm Wheel

LaTeX Go Velocity Ratio = (Minimum Diameter of Effort Wheel*Number of Teeth on Worm Wheel)/(2*Radius of Load Drum)

Velocity Ratio of Worm and Worm Wheel, if Worm is Double Threaded

LaTeX Go Velocity Ratio = (Diameter of Effort Wheel*Number of Teeth on Worm Wheel)/(4*Radius of Load Drum)

Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel

LaTeX Go Efficiency = Mechanical Advantage/Velocity Ratio

Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel Formula

LaTeX Go

Efficiency = Mechanical Advantage/Velocity Ratio
η = M_a/V_i

What is efficiency?

Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed by a machine to the total energy used by a machine.

How to Calculate Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel?

Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel calculator uses Efficiency = Mechanical Advantage/Velocity Ratio to calculate the Efficiency, Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel gear system measures how effectively the input work (torque applied to the worm) is converted into useful output work (torque delivered by the worm wheel). The efficiency of this system is generally lower compared to other gear systems due to the sliding contact between the worm and worm wheel, which generates significant friction. Efficiency is denoted by η symbol.

How to calculate Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel, enter Mechanical Advantage (M_a) & Velocity Ratio (V_i) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.833333 = 5/6.

FAQ

What is Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel?

Efficiency of Worm and Worm Wheel gear system measures how effectively the input work (torque applied to the worm) is converted into useful output work (torque delivered by the worm wheel). The efficiency of this system is generally lower compared to other gear systems due to the sliding contact between the worm and worm wheel, which generates significant friction and is represented as η = M_a/V_i or Efficiency = Mechanical Advantage/Velocity Ratio. Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of load lifted to the effort applied & Velocity Ratio is the distance through which any part of a machine moves to that which the driving part moves during the same time.
