Design Calculation Approach for Worm Wheel and Worm Lifting Machine Part

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the design calculations for a worm wheel and worm used in a lifting machine. The worm wheel is essential for pretensioning the torsional spring and is locked in place by a pin after a specific rotation. Key design considerations include determining the torque generated by the spring element and ensuring the worm wheel's parameters, such as lead angle and length, prevent breakage during operation. Additionally, the calculations for pin dimensions and the optimal radius for the pin hole are crucial for locking the torque effectively. The thread seeks feedback on these design approaches to enhance the mechanism's reliability.

Approach to the design calculation

As shown in layout worm wheel and worm are used to lifting machine part.
This worm wheel is used to pretension the torsional spring in the mechanism.
This worm wheel and worm is rotated by using of handle after that certain angle of rotation this worm wheel is locked by pin (hole in the worm wheel)

Now my clarification is for designing the worm wheel parameters = torque generated by spring element (for this torque module ,lead angle ,length has to be fixed up so as that worm wheel does not break while rotating ?)
(To lock this torque) pin dimensions = (3.14*d^3 /16 *fs) = Torque in the worm wheel

In worm wheel at what radius pin hole to be made? pin diameter can we found the above relation?

Comment the above approach...

THanks in advance
Prakash

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
