The essential parameters for the worm gear are optimized to enhance lubrication and meshing properties. Moreover, analysis of variance（ANOVA） is applied to determine the optimum levels and to determine the influence of parameters. The ANOVA results show that the novel end face engagement worm gear with multiple worm wheels provides high lubrication（the lubrication angle is more than 89~） and meshing performance（the induce normal curvature is less than 0.0002 mm ＇）. The interaction between center distance and roller slant distance most strongly influences the lubrication angle（contributed 51.6%）, followed by the parameters of center distance（contributed 25.0%）, roller slant distance（contributed 16.4%）, tooth angle of gear, gear ratio, and roller radius. In addition, roller radius most strongly influences the induced normal curvature（contributed 39.4%）, followed by roller slant distance（contributed 15.2%）, tooth angle of the gear（contributed 9.0%）, center distance, and gear ratio. The proposed worm gear helps to enrich the no-backlash high precision worm drive and the optimal design method can provide a useful reference on performance improvement of other worm gear.展开更多

The drawing commands available in AutoCAD are used to develop worm blank and cutter models. The solid models of worm and worm gear are obtained through the use of the commands, move, rotate and subtract, to simulate the generating cutting movement on the gear cutting machine. Autolisp language is utilized in programming for parametric modeling of worm and worm gear. The developed program can automatically draw worm and worm gear when users load the wlwg program, input the modulus and the number of threads, handedness, and other parameters. The operation is simple and accurate, providing potentials to speed up product design process and improve efficiency.展开更多
