Classification standard and application of ceramic worm structure and tooth shape of ceramic worm

Ceramic worm drive can be divided into three types according to its structure: cylindrical ceramic worm, toroidal ceramic worm and cone ceramic worm.

Cylindrical ceramic worm drive is divided into ordinary cylindrical ceramic worm drive and circular circular cylindrical ceramic worm drive according to the shape of worm tooth profile.Ordinary ceramic cylindrical worm is divided into different tooth profile shapes according to the cross section of vertical axis

1. Archimedes cylindrical ceramic worm ZA

2. Involute ceramic worm ZI

3. ZN in normal straight profile ceramic worm

4. Pyramidal enveloping cylindrical ceramic worm ZK

Archimedes cylindrical ceramic worm ZA has a low transmission efficiency (about 0.5-0.8, 0.4-0.45 when self-locking), and its tooth surface is easy to wear. It is generally used for transmission with fewer heads, less load, lower rotation speed or less important.Involute ceramic worm ZI has high efficiency and is generally used for transmission with more heads, higher speed and more precise requirements.ZN normal straight profile ceramic worm is often used as multi-head precise ceramic worm drive for machine tools. ZK is a conical surface enveloping cylindrical ceramic worm.ZC is easy to be machined and grinded, and can obtain high precision. ZC has high precision and high efficiency (0.65-0.95), and its bearing capacity is 1.5-2 times that of ordinary cylindrical ceramic worm.

Torus worm is divided into straight profile torus ceramic worm

1. Planar primary enveloping torus ceramic worm (TVP worm)

2. Planar secondary enveloped torus ceramic worm (TOP worm)

3. Straight profile torus ceramic worm (TSL worm)

The bearing capacity is 4 times that of ordinary cylindrical ceramic worm.Widely used, but complex process, not easy to grind, ceramic worm shape modification technology is difficult to master

TVP and TOP ceramic worm can be quenched-hard grinding, so the processing precision is high, the efficiency is high, the bearing capacity is large, the application is increasingly extensive.
