Abstract:The sliding motion between worm and worm wheel is the inherent factor that makes the worm and worm wheel drives less efficient among all the gear drives. Efficiency of these gears varies between 40 to 90%. They need good lubricants, which has high heat dissipation capacity and low coefficient of friction for improving the efficiency. The lubricants considered in the current investigation play a significant role in decreasing the power losses in gearbox besides the geometry of the gears. Nano blended lubricants… Show more
