    That's what I love about engineering, your always learning, it puts a smile on your face

    And I can tell you I have met some very smart people over the years, who are greatly underrated

    When working for my uncles in their small shop we used to manufacture small worm gears for a company that used 1/2-13 threaded rod to make their worms. We cut the gears on a Barber-Coleman #3 gear hobbing machine using a 1/2-13 tap. Obviously you need to calculate the proper diameter of the gear blank but using only the downfeed of the machine it produced beautiful throated worm gears by the hundreds. Nice video.

      how to fix the gear diameters For the screw of pitch?

    • @williamstyers4264
      @williamstyers4264 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@user-ec3ij6mt3p We converted the 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod to the comparable diametral pitch which is 40.83 DP. Using standard worm gear calculations for the 100 tooth gear (number of teeth/diametral pitch) give a value of 2.449 inches for the pitch diameter. The worm gear in this case was throated so standards call for the throat diameter to be the pitch diameter + (2 X addendum). As this was a non-critical application we chose to treat the addendum as one half of the whole depth of the thread (in this case .0472 inches) and add that to the pitch diameter. The outside diameter of the worm gear is pitch diameter + (3 X addendum) so the finished bronze gear blank ended up being 2.520 inches. OD = PD + (3 X addendum) Hope this was not too confusing.

      @Ol' Camo Somemthing that I have figured out over the yers is that there are many different kinds of machinist. You have folks that make one off parts, they tend to have tight tolerances and can take more time to achieve prefection and people that are what I call production machinists who focus more on speed and just stay between the linse as perfection only adds cost. I find that someting these two groups but heads a bit.
      There is also a line between manual and CNC machinists or even mill and lathe machinists, they to can be a bit tribal.
      Point is that if your making parts for a living your a machinist hell you could only use a file to make em and still call yourself a machinist the only real question is are you a good one and even that could be subjective.

    using this method you are machining the gear with varying pitch diameter because you are using the cross feed. What I did was to machine the od of the blank with a groove matching the id of the tap and a circumference which is a multiple of the pitch of the tap, Then bring it in with cross feed onto the end of the taper of the tap. Then use the saddle to feed the gear onto the tap. The cut is done always at the same diameter on the wheel.

    How do you ensure the gear meshes when the worm has turned 360, or did you just keep pushing it into the tap until they do? In which case each movement of the transverse will cut on a new circumference and the new cuts will be out of sync with the previous.

    Really clever!Did you have an application for this gear?
    I am curious about the final shape of the teeth: Are they somewhat involute?
    I would presume that they might be due to the entry and exit of the stock into the tap.
    Now I am tryna think of some sophisticated application of a gear like this...
