Abstract:

The first phase of the study of the performance of a wormgear transmission is reported. In this phase the work included the selection of a double-enveloping wormgear type, and its dimensions, suitable for use in helicopter transmissions the 3-D graphics representation of the selected wormgear using the 1-DEAS software the analysis of the kinematics of meshing the analysis of load sharing among the meshing teeth and the implementation of the analyses in a computer program. The report describes the analyses, their results, and the use of the computer programs.
