AGMA 6034-B92

Abstract

<strong>Applicability</strong> <br>This standard applies to the rating and design of enclosed cylindrical wormgear speed reducers and gearmotors having either solid or hollow output shafts and single or multiple reductions, including other types of gearing used in conjunction with cylindrical wormgearing. The rating and design considerations contained in this standard are valid for rotational speeds not greaterthan 3600 rpm and sliding velocities at the mesh of not more than 6000 ft/min (30 m/s). <br>The knowledge and judgment required to evaluate the various rating factors come from years of accumulated experience in designing, manufacturing, and operating gear units. Empirical factors given in this standard are suited to the particular use shown. This standard is intended for use by the experienced gear designer, capable of selecting reasonable values for the factors. It is not intended for use by the "engineering public at large." No limitation is placed on the method of producing the worms and gears, but the tooth form of the gear must be conjugate to the thread form of the worm.
