Re: Worm Gear Gearbox

I definitley do not think I could do my own calculation for teeth strength. It's far more complicated then simply shear strength for that material. There are multiple engagement points at a given time, and even just calculating the area being sheared isn't simple. I need to know this for design purposes, so I can't wait to receive the part and any info it comes with. None of the gear supplier websites I have checked list the formula.
