Worm gear system with 2 input motors?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on building a worm gear system utilizing two mini motors to effectively double torque without sacrificing speed. Participants confirm that connecting both motors in a parallel assembly to the same gear will achieve this goal, allowing the gear to drive the worm gear efficiently. This method is recognized as the simplest assembly for maximizing torque output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of worm gear mechanics
  • Knowledge of parallel motor assembly techniques
  • Familiarity with torque and speed relationships in mechanical systems
  • Basic skills in motor wiring and connections
NEXT STEPS
  • Research worm gear design principles
  • Explore parallel motor configurations for torque enhancement
  • Learn about torque calculations in mechanical systems
  • Investigate motor control techniques for synchronized operation
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, hobbyists building robotic systems, and anyone interested in optimizing torque in gear assemblies.

Hi guys,

I have 2 mini motors and a set of worm gear.
I would like to know how to build a system that can make use of the torque from both motors at the same time so that I can double the torque without losing speed.

thank you

Hi nomisme,

The two motors should connect to the same gear and rotate in the same direction (parallel assembly). The gear should rotate the worm gear.

IMO I see no easier assembly with more torque.
