Design of Worm Gear

This document provides the design calculations for worm gears used in Equipment 7 and 8. For Equipment 7, the worm gear has a 5.243 in diameter worm driving a 4.8897 in diameter gear at 1025 rpm. The wear load is 2200.365 lbs, strength load is 5694.723 lbs, transmitted load is 87.957 lbs, and dynamic load is 294.207 lbs. The efficiency is calculated to be 0.7311. Similar calculations are shown for the worm gear used in Equipment 8, which has slightly different parameters.
