Abstract

This paper discusses worm gear optimization, with a focus on speed ratio in a two stage worm-gear reducer, based on the conditions of equal contact stress, oil-immersed lubrication, and minimum volume. Tables, graphs, and calculations are used to present research findings. Therefore, a reasonable speed ratio can be chosen throughout the design process to achieve the best operating capacity while consuming the minimum material mass.
