I have done this on mills too. It is a very good method to create custom worm gear sets. You get very good engagement as well. I had to make these type of gear sets for scientific instruments. No one made the sizes and gear ratio I needed. Nice video and methods

I spent fifty years in toolrooms, building stamping dies, injection molds, and lots of prototype gizmos. I am very impressed.

It’s been a pleasure viewing your gears, young man. Thank for the performance.

@@adityarane5735 As Anel Pasic said, it's vary rare to find a wheel gear that isn't brass or bronze unless it's special purpose. That is your wear gear. Normally, the wheel gear is attached to another gear that leads into further gear reduction to handle even more torque if so desired.

The back lash on the threads seems a bit excessive..... say 20 thou instead of maybe 3 or 4 thou.... meaning I would have used a fly-cutter to get the bosses dead-center for proper back-lash clearances..... but then, that's just me being a fuss-budget, lol.

Fantastic work mate! Looks really good, works well too. Best to have a nice tight press fit for bearings, if that's not possible then make it a sliding fit and use loctite bearing retainer (638/648) for bearing/shaft seals instead of jb-weld or generic epoxy. Also use tapered roller bearings instead of ball bearings for the bolt-drive if there's going to be high axial loads.

Tapered bearing thrust side only. Other side should be a ball bearing. If they are both tapered the off side bearing clearance will increase as the heat of operation expands the housing.

I have been a Tool & Die maker for over 50 years but I want to commend you on your skill and ability to make such a fine project with so little. Your methods at times scare me as far as safety goes and your fingers as holding things with your hands can lead to the loss of fingers and I have seen eyes put out in machine shops I have worked in but still I have never seen so much made with so little. ' We used to have a saying when I worked at Arizona State University in the Physics Machine Shop for 20 years before I retired. "We the willing, lead by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to anything with nothing at all"! You personify that statement! You Rock my friend and I say Kudos to you. What a beautiful job you did with rudimentary tools. Your ingenuity is to be admired. It takes a person with knowledge of such devices (worm and worm wheel) to appreciate what you have done. The unknowing will just look at it and see nothing. Truly, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The knowing will see beauty in every step. The unknowing will just stare like a deer in a headlight. Take care and keep up the good work.

Great vid. How did you position the drive gear in the housing to obtain an accurate backlash on the worm?

Very nice.! U know instead of jb weld like u use on ur bearings u can use medium/semi permanent or red/ permanent thread locker with thread locker u have the option to change the bearings if needed in future with a heat gun. That’s how I installed mine when I was building belt pulley ls for belt grinder and it works perfectly till this day and it’s been over a year now almost daily use.

I´d so much loved to learn things like that. Metal working is a nice hobby.

I really like the way you cut the thread on the gear very ingenious. I really did not like the use of epoxy instead of press fit or even snap rings to retain the bearings. But yeah pretty cool. Impressive welding also

Hi ! The idea is good but...... The tool you used to create the teeth on the crown would have to be slightly different. As there is a height difference between the tooth head and the tooth foot, the tool would have to be modified so that the coupling between the screw and the crown was more precise. It may work, but it can't be too demanding on the system.

Great design nice thank you so much sir.

i hope I get to do something like that on a lathe at my university. Ive wanted to construct a heavy telescope mount for a long time but an essential part of those is a worm gear (since they spin at around one revolution per 23h 56m)

Yes. This will work neatly on a tracking mount.

That is an elegant solution. I wonder if you could repeat this exorcise with an acme thread. 😁 Of course a thrust bearing might be of more use in this case.

I love it. this is so informatif

Thank you for not just blasting music during the video.

Very interesting. How did you know how to make the threads on the gear "intersect" at the end? I assume it was a calculation, but how does that get made? I mean, you could take it around once, and it could obviously just start a new threading overlaid on the old one, messing up the point -- the thread had to **exactly** match into itself after one (and each subsequent) revolution of the work gear blank.... even a fraction of an inch of variance would have meant a less than accurate in-fit with each successive revolution, meaning slop... How did you determine what was done/needed?

@rickirish950

Жыл бұрын

Could be wrong but I'd think after hand turning it to pilot the threads then having the lathe spin it several hundred times most likely created the path needed based on the positioning (how true/little the tap had any play) it creates a true pattern automatically based on it being a circle, plus possibly he just did the math based on thread space/circumference of the circle idk lol :P I'm lonely what can I say.

I made one very similar. Only issue is once you add a load on the worm gear, the steel bolt will destroy the brass gear.

The gear ratio of the worm gear to the worm wheel cannot be a decimal number! In this case, the worm gear has to spin EXACTLY 110 times for the worm wheel to rotate once.

How did you manage to get the precision right so there were an integer number of teeth around gear? Since the diameter gets smaller as you cut the ridges deeper did you just keep going until the ridges met in the middle as an integer number, or was it sized specifically/another part of the design process that ensured your brass gear had clean and a flat number of teeth?

Yes absolutely genius as others have said. I can think of many many uses for something like that. I don't have the equipment to build things like that but I know some machinists who could.

Almost exactly how I made one. However since worm screws have a specific thread profile, I made the wheel hog out of one of two screws salvaged from some reducers. Mine was exactly 180:1 intentionally. I did use a dividing head to cut the 180 notches to get it started. Made a great 4th axis for a cnc router.

That was really amazing, dude! Liked and subbed! Really, really outstanding work! Congratulations! That's a hard thing to do by hand like that¡

How did you go about setting the lash between the worm and the gear?

Good job I'm satisfied form your video and tools

You sir are a master machinist, that sir was art🤌

Brilliant!

in order for the threads to meet properly at 360* how do you know what the driven gear diameter would be before cutting the worm gear teeth?

Excellent!!!

nice job My friend. So many men have been seriously injured by wearing gloves on a drilll press or lathe. It happens in a fraction of a second.

was there a calculation for the diameter of the output wheel, to make sure that the threads lined up properly around the wheel, or was it eyeballed and you just got lucky? using a cutter and dremmel doesn;t seem the most accurate, so i guess it was eyeballed.

Super work I like it

Следует подшипники винта устанавливать с внутренней стороны обоймы подшипника. И на винту делать ограничители для устранения продольного хождения винта. Потому как при большой нагрузке на винт он будет выходить с посадочных мест под подшипник, и даже с самим подшипником. И у данной конструкции нет возможности регулирования резьбового зазора.
