Worm Gear Torque Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Worm Gear Torque (\(Twg\)):

\[ Twg = L \times r \]

Where:

\(Twg\) is the Worm Gear Torque (N-m)
\(L\) is the Load of the Meshing Point (N)
\(r\) is the Radius of the Pitch Circle (m)

What is Worm Gear Torque?

Worm gear torque refers to the torque generated by a worm gear mechanism, which is calculated by multiplying the load at the meshing point by the radius of the pitch circle. This measure is crucial in mechanical engineering to understand the efficiency and performance of worm gear systems.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Load of the Meshing Point (\(L\)) = 500 N
Radius of the Pitch Circle (\(r\)) = 0.1 m

Using the formula:

\[ Twg = 500 \times 0.1 = 50 \text{ N-m} \]

The Worm Gear Torque is 50 N-m.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Load of the Meshing Point (\(L\)) = 1000 N
Radius of the Pitch Circle (\(r\)) = 0.2 m

Using the formula:

\[ Twg = 1000 \times 0.2 = 200 \text{ N-m} \]

The Worm Gear Torque is 200 N-m.
