Kumbbl Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Hi all, i have one simple question about the saveness of the following construction (just a "hacked" prototype to demonstrate my question): please have a look at the green marked area where the worm-axle B crosses the axle A: My goal is that both axles can absolute independendly rotate without influencing each other - my visual inspection during manually rotating both axles says, all is ok, even if the distance between the wormgear and the axle a is very very narrow in the green "contact-point", but as far as i can see there is some "air"... so my question to the experts: Am i right? Can i savely use such a construction? Thanks a lot! Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes its legal unless you are gonna force the worm gear on top of the axle :) Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes this is legal. You can even have a bush on the axle below the wormgear and then they can still rotate independently. Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes this is legal. You can even have a bush on the axle below the wormgear and then they can still rotate independently. Just waht i wanted to say. But remmber centrally placed 1 stud long bush, not the half studded ones. Quote
SNIPE Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Yes there is a gap between them, even a double bush will fit on if its directly above the worm gear so it sits in the groove on the bush. Quote
Lipko Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Um... where else would you put a 8 teeth gear that you want to drive with the worm gear, for example? Edited February 4, 2014 by Lipko Quote
Commander Smith Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Maybe on top, above the worm gear? Remember, this is only a prototype to demonstrate the concept, if I interpreted the post correctly. Quote
Kumbbl Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Um... where else would you put a 8 teeth gear that you want to drive with the worm gear, for example? well, the prototype has been gone - here the final result: The yellow arrow marks the lower bearing of a vertical axle, the worm drives a 8 teeth gear... $64-question: What is this? BTW: Thank you for your helpful answers! Edited February 6, 2014 by Kumbbl Quote
allanp Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Could be wrong but it kinda looks like the 2005 mobile crane? EDIT: just found your other thread Edited February 6, 2014 by allanp Quote
