Abstract

The paper presents an analysis based on the two criteria used to determine an allowable sliding wear of the worm gear side teeth and of the worm wheels. In both cases, two undesirable consequences occurred. The first one is a reduction in the tooth root cross section, which may lead to tooth fracture. The other one is the appearance of tooth tapers. Both consequences are undesirable in all types of gear transmissions because of the risk of tooth fracture.
