Alright that's good to know then. I got my assembly almost done, but i ran into an issue. My gears diameter is rougly 80mm and i have some calculations(might be wrong) in which i need to use a 25mm diameter shaft. This sounds good in paper but i downloaded some 25mm diameter bearing solidworks...

Thanks. I tried youtube already and can't seem to find much on worm gears. My main concern is that i don't know if what i am using (the link) is a spur gear? can the wheel in a worm train be a spur gear?

im supposed to make my own. right now i am doing the gear with this technique i found https://grabcad.com/questions/tutorial-how-to-model-involute-gears-in-solidworks-and-show-design-intent and i found a similar gear train to what i designed on paper on grabcad it came with the solidworks file...

Hello i am having trouble figuring out the proper profile to use for the worm and the gear. I need to model it in solidworks and everything i am finding online is for spur gears. I need to get the worm and gear to mesh correctly so i can do some finite element analysis on it. I have calculated...

Anyone know how i can justify the usage of a certain shaft diameter in my gearbox?

Theres really no right or wrong answer to the choice of gears to use for this particular assignment, i found a worm gear that fits the requirements i need for a stair lift for the elderly and i am kinda basing my work off of that. In myreport i need to be able to explain, through calculations...

oh i didnt even think about the fact that the bearings and casing need to withstand the loads. Thanks, this increased my understanding of how a gearbox works. I am assuming that the material of the worm gear is the only thing that makes certain any teeth would break?

The thing is we are supposed to design it from scratch basically, but i found this http://www.mcmaster.com/#gear-boxes/=1220u8j which has everything i need. My question is, for instance what can i apply to say, the input shaft to be able to obtain a minimum size of shaft diameter to support an...

Hello, i am a junior mechanical engineering student and i was given the task of designing (on paper) a gearbox. I chose to design a worm gear single speed reduction gearbox. I know the basics of what composes it which are the worm, worm gear, input and output shaft bearings and the housing the...
