Abstract
Abstract
The paper presents the method of determining geometric contact pattern by using the direct computer-aided design (CAD) method for ideal globoid worm gear in which mounting deviations are considered. The tooth contact analysis was performed for all cycle of worm rotation. Based on the results of temporary contact pattern, graphical characteristics of the contact area size depending on worm position were made. A complete analysis of the correctness of gear meshing can be obtained based on presented method. If the worm or worm wheel is incorrectly designed in terms of the geometry, the meshing simulation of CAD models can indicate the collision. Geometric contact pattern analyses were made at two pressure angles of ideal gear. The analysis of the influence of mounting deviations was done against one selected pressure angle and one gear position.
