 | | Boosting power in a gear train
|
|
I have a gear train that is driven by a very weak input, very small torque. There are some places in the gear train where I have some worm gears driving some 'regualr' gears. As I go along the gear train, I boost the output as much as I can with (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Hey guys... Might remember me... I posted the "Millenia Car" last year (was on the side bar for ages!). Anyway, finally got around to building something else (I lead a busy life). (URL) Technic truck based around the motor packs in the Bionicle (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) snip... (...) snip... Not to be a stickler, but gearing doesn't increase motor power. Unless the large motor has less internal power loss (reduced friction would be nice) it will have more torque, less speed, and the same power as the NXT (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

Timothy is right about the mechanical advantage, and explained it very well! One more thing to remember is that since the worm gear acts as a "lock" for the other gear, you don't want to put too much torque on the other gear. You can either rip the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Basically, a worm gear has one tooth. So using that with a 40-tooth gear reduces the rotational speed by a factor of 40, and increases the strength by the same amount. Also, worm gears can drive a gear, but can't be driven by that gear, so (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
