Efficiency of Worm Gear given lead angle, pressure angle and coefficient of friction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Worm Gear Efficiency = (cos(Pressure Angle of Worm Gear)-Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*tan(Lead Angle of Worm))/(cos(Pressure Angle of Worm Gear)+Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*cot(Lead Angle of Worm))
η = (cos(Φ)-μ*tan(γ))/(cos(Φ)+μ*cot(γ))
This formula uses 3 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)

Variables Used

Worm Gear Efficiency - Worm Gear Efficiency is simply the ratio of output power from the worm gear to the Input power to the gear.
Pressure Angle of Worm Gear - (Measured in Radian) - Pressure Angle of Worm Gear is known as the angle of obliquity is the angle between the tooth face and the gear wheel tangent.
Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear - Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.
Lead Angle of Worm - (Measured in Radian) - The Lead Angle of Worm is defined as the angle between a tangent to the thread at the pitch diameter and a plane normal to the worm axis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pressure Angle of Worm Gear: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)
Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required

η = (cos(Φ)-μ*tan(γ))/(cos(Φ)+μ*cot(γ)) --> (cos(0.5235987755982)-0.2*tan(0.244869694054758))/(cos(0.5235987755982)+0.2*cot(0.244869694054758))

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.489708646447362

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.489708646447362 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.489708646447362 ≈ 0.489709 <-- Worm Gear Efficiency
