Application Overview
Purpose
Purpose
Reducing the thrust load to the motor shaft without using coupling.
Operation
Worm gear and wheel are rotated by the motor, and the drum on the shaft wind the wire.
Points for use
Applicable to thrust load from one direction only.
Target workpiece
Shape: Block
Size: W40 x D40 x H25mm
Weight: 0.3kg
Design Specifications
Operating Conditions or Design Requirements
Up and down stroke: 30mm
External size: W123 x D125 x H92mm
Required Performance
Load: 3N
Selection Criteria for Main Components
A motor with thrust load of 0.8N is selected to pull up a workpiece of 0.3kg.
Design Evaluation
Verification of main components
Select the bearing to withstand the load weight.
Thrust bearing selection
Conditional values: Diameter of the wire winding part of the drum d1 = 28mm, pitch circle diameter of the worm wheel d2 = 30mm, motor rotational speed z1 = 1200rpm, workpiece mass W = 0.3kg, gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s², work movement length l1 = 30mm, friction coefficient on the tooth surface µ = 0.0167, tooth rectangular pressure angle a = 20°, worm gear advance angle y1 = 3.58°, pitch circle diameter of worm gear d3 = 16mm, worm gear rotational speed q1 = 1200mm, basic load rating of thrust bearing c1 = 6.8kN
Number of revolution necessary for the drum to wind the workpiece n1 is given as follows: n1 = d1 x π / l1 = 28 x π / 30 = 2.93 Motor rotation time at that time is given by t1 = d2 x n1 x (60 x z1) = 30 x 2.93 x (60 x 1200) = 4.40t
Net power H1 applied to the worm gear is given by H1 = W x g x l1 / t1 = 0.3 x 9.8 x 30 / 4.40 = 0.02N = 2.72 x 10-5 PS
Apparent friction angle on the tooth surface p1 is given by p1 = tan - 1 (µ) = tan - 1 (0.0167) = 0.957°
Axial thrust load F1 of the worm gear is given by F1 = F2 / tan (y + p) = 1.432 x H1 x 106 / {tan (y1 + p1) x d3 x q1} x g = 1.432 x 2.72 x 10-5 x 106 / {tan (3.58 + 0.957) x 16 x 1200} x 9.8 = 0.25N < 6.8kN = c1 ⇒No problem
Other Design Consideration
The bearing, instead of bush, is used although operation turns into low speed rotation because of the worm gear and wheel drive.
Mounting should be conducted so that no gap exists between the motor bracket, bearing, and the worm gear.
