Computerized assembly increases worm-gear accuracy

 

 
A new computerized assembly procedure for worm-gear speed reducers increases accuracy and eliminates the need for highly skilled assemblers. When worm-gear speed reducers are assembled, proper alignment of the worm and gear, and the resulting tooth contact pattern, is the most critical assembly variable. It is also the most difficult to control. Emerson Power Transmission engineers have developed and patented a new computerized mechanism to quickly and accurately align the worm and gear. A typical worm-gear reducer assembly includes the input
