ABSTRACT
Spur gear, helical gear, worm gear, and bevel gear are all important components in industrial applications such as vehicles, pushes, conveyors, elevators, bowl mill, rolling mills, ribbon blender, machine tools, aeroplanes, and windmills. When various types of defects, such as wear, tooth breakage, corrosion, and scratches on bearings, appear in gearboxes, normal machine function may be abruptly terminated. As a result, output and dependability suffer. As a result, several quality tracking and evaluation approaches have been adopted by companies. Finite element analysis (FEA) is one of the approaches. This research paper presents the FEA of a ribbon blender worm gear pair by using Ansys 18.0 to identify the weak gear of the worm gear pair, natural frequency, and deformation. Proe-5 utilized for creation of three-dimensional geometry of threaded worm and toothed worm wheels, as well as other related elements such as shafts and bearings. Steel is used for the worm, shaft, and bearing, whereas bronze is used for the worm wheel. Ansys 18.0 is implemented to carry out worm gear pair model analysis. The results demonstrate that the worm wheel had the most deformation when compared to the worm, and that the natural frequency is greater than the operational frequency of the worm gear pair. The findings of the research study, worm wheel deteriorate early than worm, model analysis plays a significant role in vibration monitoring of worm gear pair, and this work is valuable for further fault analysis of ribbon blender worm gearbox utilising vibration response.
