Abstract

The paper introduces innovative solutions for worm gears, aiming at adaptive reduction of side clearance to improve accuracy. It addresses manufacturing challenges affecting tooth dimensions and deviations in shape, examining the impact of adjustment settings on clearance components. The document outlines patented solutions and identifies the causes of inaccuracies in worm gears, with a specific focus on the efficiency of a compliant worm in reducing side clearance. Comprehensive analyses were conducted using Matlab, CAD, and empirical data to investigate the impact of adjustments on clearance statistics, correlation, and spectral analyses before and after corrections. It establishes correlations between clearance parameters and assesses positioning accuracy using a rolling screw system. By demonstrating significant improvements in accuracy without the need for gear disassembly during operation, the developed gear compensates for manufacturing deviations. The paper also suggests assembly procedures for precision worm gears in small-scale production, taking into account various criteria for accuracy assessment.
