Abstract

This paper presents a numerical approach to calculate the distribution of the surface temperature of worm gears, which is needed to determine the scuffing load capacity. The simulation model used for the heat transport as well as its boundary conditions are explained. Exemplary results for various operating conditions and temperature courses over time are presented. A comparison of the simulation model with another model from literature reveals deviating results. It is shown that the deviations can be attributed to limitations of the model from literature. These limitations do not apply to the numerical simulation model that is presented in this paper.
