With the knowledge of the advantageous characteristics of the cylindrical worm gear drives having arched profile in axial section and the conical worm gear drives having linear profile in axial section, a new geometric type conical worm gear drive has been designed and then manufactured, that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile in axial section. Under same load and boundary conditions in case of the same geometric spiroid worm gear drives having arched profile and having linear profile in axial section we have done comparative finite element method analysis for evaluating the strains, deformations and stresses of this gear drives.

Abstract With the knowledge of the advantageous characteristics of the cylindrical worm gear drives having arched profile in axial section and the conical worm gear drives having linear profile in axial section, a new geometric type conical worm gear drive has been designed and then manufactured, that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile in axial section. Beside similar charging and marginal conditions in case of the same geometric spiroid worm gear drives having arched profile and having linear profile in axial section we have done comparative finite element method analysis for awarding of the strains, deformations and stresses of this gear drives.

A new geometry of a cylindrical worm gear drive is proposed for: (i) reduction of sensitivity of the drive to errors of alignment, and (ii) observation of a favorable bearing contact. The basic ideas of new geometry are as follows: (i) the worm-gear is generated by a hob that is oversized in comparison with the worm of the drive and has a parabolic profile in normal section; (ii) the tooth surface of the worm of the drive is a conventional one. Due to deviation of the hob thread surface, the bearing contact of the worm and the worm-gear is localized. Reduction of sensitivity to misalignment and improved conditions of meshing are confirmed by application of TCA (Tooth Contact Analysis). Formation of bearing contact has been investigated by finite element method applied in 3D for more than one pair of contacting teeth. Developed ideas may be applied for various types of cylindrical worm gear drives.

In the last few decades in Hungary, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the University of Miskolc have been intensively focusing on the research field of worm gear drives [2, 5]. Our results at the University of Miskolc have also been published in a book published in the USA as well [2]. A new geometric worm gear drive has been developed, that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profiled in axial section [3]. The aim of our publication is to present the advantages, the geometric questions and the possible application fields of this new type worm gear drive.
