Details
I made this 3d printed high torque worm gearbox. It called also winch, hoist or crane. The gearbox uses a 775 12V 13000 RPM (100 Watt) brushed DC-motor which it has 0.
074 Nm torque and 13000 rpm. This 3d printed gearbox had a gear ratio of 98:1. So the torque on the output shaft became 7.4 Nm or 75 kg*cm and the speed of the output shaft was about 132RPM with this gearbox. (in theory) I used PLA+ in all parts.
The output shaft is 20 mm in diameter and thus the maximum force the gearbox can lift is 737 newtons. (75.1 kg) Since the friction of the rope would be high, I assumed a 10% loss. but this is only valid when a rope is used. If we use the torque lever on the side, there will be no such loss I choose to go for helical gears on this one because they produce a lot less noice than regular spur gears and the forces on the teeth are transferred more gradually. The helical gears I used have a 1 mm module and a 23 degrees helix angle. I chose a low helix angle to avoid too much axial force. The pinion gear on the motor is 13 teeth and the counter gear is 34 teeth. Thus theoretically the gear ratio in the first stage is 2.61. There is also a worm gear on the same shaft.
I fixed the gears here on the shaft with a cotter pin. The shaft I use here M8 threaded rod. I used 608zz roller bearing for bearing the shaft. At the same time, high axial force will occur on this shaft due to the worm gear. I fixed this shaft with 1, 2 or 3 mm spacers. I used whichever fit. The worm gear I used in this project has 40 teeth. So the gear ratio in the worm gear mechanism is 40. Here there is a really high torque increase in one stage.Output shaft has a 20 mm diameter and I used 2x6004(ORS) roller bearing to support this output shaft.I was able to test the gearbox to a torque of about 43 kg*cm.During testing none of the gears broke, they were all printed in PLA. The weak link in this design the helicel pinion gear (red one) used in the first stage on the motor shaft. This gear tend to slip under high loads, while lowering the load but this didn't occur when i performed the test where it pulled 43kg*cm of torque so it should be fine to at least this torque rating.At the first car test, the gearbox could not fully pull the car because the road was bumpy.
At the same time, the rope broke. Then I went home and I do not give up:) Because I knew the gearbox could pull the car. Theoretically this was possible and as you can see in the video…I do not recommend using it in the professional field. Because you can't trust to plastic parts!Regardless, it was a very entertaining project. By the way it would be great if you make the accent out of steel :D

Polymer gear for engine tuning
The Formula Student Team from Weingarten near Ravensburg was also looking for specially designed polymer gears for racing cars. Gears were used as chain tensioners as part of the chain drive, so they had to be especially strong. Unfortunately, the production of gears of non-standard sizes takes a lot of time, the classic production process on a metal-cutting machine is a time-consuming undertaking.
igus® 3D printing service made it possible to deliver and test polymer gears in less than 72 hours. The material used was iglidur® I6, which has the special wear properties of - it retained its full functionality after 1 million cycles in the test lab, making it ideal for use in race car construction. In this case, the special components produced by additive manufacturing not only managed to be delivered to the customer in the shortest possible time, but they also turned out to be more durable and economical.

FAQ: Q&A
iglidur 3D printed worm gears
What is iglidur I6 and why is it a great material for worm gear design?
iglidur I6 is a laser sintered material specially developed for the production of worm gears.
In addition to the common advantages of all iglidur polymers, such as wear resistance and no need for lubrication, iglidur I6 has special sliding properties that increase the functionality of the worm gear. The idea of developing such a material came from the design engineers who created our robolink robotic arm. In tests, worm gears made from iglidur I6 have repeatedly proven to be more wear resistant than other 3D printed polymer worm gears. Polymer worm gears are suitable for industrial applications only if they are made from high quality polymer. Early tests with PLA and ABS materials failed because the high coefficient of friction caused components to wear relatively quickly. It is for this reason that designers began to develop new polymers with the required properties. Special versions are available for high temperature or food processing applications. Wear tests on these materials confirm that they exhibit a high degree of wear resistance. The characteristics of the iglidur I6 material can be found here.
Advantages of worm gears made by 3D printer
The most important advantages are wear resistance properties, impact strength, internal elasticity to reduce surface pressure, exceptional impact strength, automatic lubrication properties, corrosion resistance, quiet operation, no need for maintenance, as well as good properties for emergency operation. The most important criterion for the use of a polymer. Special materials have excellent wear resistance and hardness; high precision, detailed surface treatment; and extremely long service life, which also characterizes the work of worm gears made from them.
Advantages of polymer worm gears over metal counterparts
In principle, polymer gears are designed to run without additional lubrication, so worm gears made from iglidur on the printer run without lubrication. The user benefits greatly as downtime and maintenance costs are greatly reduced when high quality polymer worm gears are used.
The 3D printer manufacturing method provides design engineers with a more flexible approach than turning and milling metal or polymers. Worm gear geometry can be perfected first and compromises deferred until later. The improved geometry means it takes more time to design polymer worm gears than milled gears. Surface pressure and wear properties are significantly reduced due to large contact areas.
Which equipment is best suited for metal gears?
Usually a worm wheel is used at the outlet of the gearbox. Traditionally, it is made of a copper-tin alloy. This material has excellent properties in dry conditions when interacting with steel components. This is an important argument in favor of the use of metal worm gears in conditions where a large amount of heat is generated or high torque is transmitted. Worm gears made of metal are also often part of the cooling and lubrication circuits. In many cases, the worm is made from hardened steel and is used in conjunction with a worm gear made from a softer metal such as brass or bronze.
However, self-lubricating polymers for the manufacture of worm wheels are increasingly being used.
Worm wheel or worm gear design requirements
The design of the worm gear and worm gear requires a very precise unification of the tooth profile geometry. This is necessary to transmit the specified torques, as well as to ensure wear resistance and abrasion resistance of the tooth profile. Simple and cost-effective technologies for the production of piece products and small batches of products are important if the found design solution is to be transferred to a computer and 3D printing systems, which makes them commercially attractive.
Worm Gear Material Combination
Hard anodized aluminum gear worms are particularly suitable for heavy duty applications. However, the corresponding gear worms, which are 3D printed by igus in iglidur I3, are strong enough for normal loads, as the material is highly resistant.
Another significant advantage is also the absence of restrictions on the design of forms, since even complex and rare forms of the worm mechanism, such as globoid screws, can be made on a 3D printer, and quickly and inexpensively.
What is a worm gear?
The worm gear is the counterpart to the worm in the worm gear. Since the sliding properties are especially important for worm gears, they are usually made of bronze. 3D printing worm gears from high-quality polymers costs many times less and, importantly, is faster, and at the same time has comparable characteristics.
What is a worm gear?
Worm gears are used where reliable, precise and quiet gearbox operation is required. Quiet and durable operation is of particular importance. Worm gears can be used to realize axial movement between the drive and the power take-off. On a small area, a significant force is transformed. Therefore, the main applications for worm gears are conveyor systems, robotics, profile processing, separators, extruders, mining machines and rowing machines.
