1. Design a high efficiency worm gear speed reducer to transmit continuously the
rated power output of 15 kW motor turning at 1750 rpm. The steel worm with
BHN 250 is to be integral with the motor shaft and velocity ratio is 10. The
phosphor bronze gear should not have less than 40 teeth. Determine pitch, face and
diameters of gears.
2. Find the 20° involute worm and gear which will transmit 15kW between shafts
that are 0.30 meter apart, if the speed reduction is to be 10.5 to 1, and the driving
shaft is turning at 1200 rpm.
3. Design and determine the input power capacity of a worm gear speed reducer unit
composed of a hardened steel worm and phosphor bronze worm wheel having 20°
stub involute teeth. The centre distance is to be 200 mm, transmission ratio 10 and
worm speed 1450 rpm.
4. A worm gear has 30 teeth of 14.5 and the coefficient of friction for worm gear is
0.05. The worm is triple threaded with a module of 6 mm and pitch circle diameter
of 50 mm. Calculate the following:
(i) Lead angle of worm, (ii) Velocity ratio, (iii) Center distance, (iv) Efficiency of
gearing.
5. Design a worm gear set to transmit 12 kW from a shaft rotating at 1400 rpm to
another at 75 rpm. Assume normal pressure angle as 20° and centre distance
between the shafts is 25 cm.

2 Problems of Practices on Warm Gears
6. Design a worm gearing to transmit 10 kW from an electric motor running at 1500

rpm to a machine running at 75 rpm. Load is intermittent (< 3 hr. of continuous
service) and steady.
7. Design a worm drive for a speed reducer to transmit 3. kW at a worm speed of 600
rpm. The desired velocity ratio is 25:1 and an efficiency of at least 87% desired.
Assume the worm and gear are made of hardened steel.
8. Design a worm and worm gear drive for a speed reduction by 25. Worm rotates at
600 rpm and transmits 35 kW. Assume double start thread and gear has 50 full
depth 20° involute teeth.
9. For a Worm and worm wheel the centre distance is given as 225 mm. Worm is
made of hardened steel and rotates at 1250 rpm. Worm transmits power to a
phosphor bronze gear (b = 55 MPa) with a transmission ratio of 15. The teeth on
gear are 20° full depth involute (y = 0.125). Determine all the design parameters
and recommend the safe power that the drive can transmit.
10. A worm gear has 30 teeth of 14½ and the coefficient of friction for worm gear is
0.05. The worm is triple threaded with a module of 6 mm and pitch circle diameter
of 50 mm. Calculate the following:
(i) Lead angle of worm, (ii) Velocity ratio, (iii) Center distance, (iv) Efficiency of
gearing.
11. Design 20° involute worm and gear to transmit 10 kW with worm rotating at 1400
rpm. and to obtain a speed reduction of 10:1 The distance between the shafts is 225
mm.
12. A double threaded worm drive is required for power transmission between two
shafts having their axes at right angles to each other. The worm has 14.5° involute
teeth. The centre distance is approximately 200 mm. If the axial pitch of the worm
is 30 mm and lead angle is 23°, find (i) lead; (ii) Pitch circle diameter of worm and
worm gear; (iii) Helix angle of the worm; and (iv) efficiency of the drive if the
coefficient of friction is 0.05.
13. Design a high efficiency worm gear speed reducer to transmit continuously the
rated power output of 15 kW motor running at 1750 rpm. The steel worm having
hardness 250 BHN is integral with the motor shaft. The speed ratio is 10, while the
phosphor bronze gear should not have less man 40 mm.
14. A worm drive transmits 15 kW at 2000 r.p.m. to a machine carriage at 75 r.p.m.
The worm is triple threaded and has 65 mm pitch diameter. The worm gear has 90
teeth of 6 mm module. The tooth form is to be 20° full depth involute. The
coefficient of friction between the mating teeth may be taken as 0.10. Calculate: 1.
tangential force acting on the worm; 2. axial thrust and separating force on worm;
and 3. efficiency of the worm drive.
