The proof is based on the following considerations:

This means thatθcis constant andccontacts1along a straight line, the atrix of the cone
gener-(ii) The worm surface is generated by a straight line, that is, it is a ruled surface It is adeveloped surface as well because the surface normal does not depend on surface
coordinate u c Recall that u c determines the location of a current point on thegenerating line
(iii) Considering the equations of the worm surface and the unit normal to the surface,
we may represent a current point of the surface normal by the equation
R1(u c , ψ, m) = r1(u c, ψ) + mn1(ψ) (19.7.26)
where the variable parameter m determines the location of the current point on
the surface normal Function R1(u c, ψ, m) represents the one-parameter family of
curves that are traced out in S1by a current point of the surface normal
(iv) The envelope to the family of curves is determined with Eq (19.7.26) and theequation (see Section 6.1)

19.8 GEOMETRY AND GENERATION OF F-I WORMS (VERSION I)
F worms with concave–convex surfaces have been proposed by Niemann and Heyer(1953) and applied in practice by the Flender Co., Germany The great advantage of the
F worm-gear drives is the improvement of conditions of lubrication that is achieved due
to the favorable shape of contact lines between the worm and the worm-gear surfaces
We consider two versions of F worms: (i) the original one, F-I, and (ii) the modifiedone, F-II, proposed by Litvin (1968) Both versions of worm-gear drives are designed
as nonstandard ones: the radius r p (o)of the worm operating pitch cylinder differs from
the radius r p of the worm pitch cylinder, and r p (o) − r p ≈ 1.3/P a x To avoid pointing of

Installment of the Grinding Wheel for F-I
The surface of the grinding wheel is a torus The axial section of the grinding wheel
is the arcα–α of radius ρ [Fig 19.8.1(b)] In the following discussion we consider the
generation of the surface side II of the right-hand worm.
The radius ρ is chosen as approximately equal to the radius rp of the worm pitchcylinder The installation of the grinding wheel with respect to the worm is shown inFig 19.8.1(a) The axes of the grinding wheel and the worm form the angleγc = λ p,whereλpis the lead angle on the worm pitch cylinder, and the shortest distance between
these axes is E c Figure 19.8.2(a) shows the section of the grinding wheel and the
worm by a plane that is drawn through the z caxis, which is the axis of rotation of the
grinding wheel, and the shortest distance O c O1[Fig 19.8.1(b)] It is assumed that the
line of shortest distance passes through the mean point M of the worm profile; a and b determine the location of center O bof the circular arcα–α with respect to Oc.Here,
whereρ is the radius of arc α–α.

Figure 19.8.2: Generation of grinding wheel with torus surface: (a) section of the grinding wheel and (b) applied coordinate systems.
We set up coordinate systems S c and S p that are rigidly connected to the grinding
wheel; coordinate systems S b and S aare rigidly connected to the circular arc of radiusρ
(Fig 19.8.2) The circular arcα–α is represented in Sbby the equation
rb = ρ[− sin θ 0 cos θ 1]T. (19.8.2)
Figure 19.8.2(a) shows coordinate systems S a and S b in the initial position The
surface of the grinding wheel is generated in S c while the circular arc with coordinate
systems S a and S b is rotated about the z paxis [Fig 19.8.2(b)]

Equations of Meshing of Grinding Wheel and Worm
The unit normal nc is directed toward the generating surface and outward to the worm
surface The worm surface is generated as the envelope to the family of surfaces that
is generated in S1 by c in its relative motion with respect to the worm surface1
Coordinate system S1is rigidly connected to the worm
The equation of meshing is
nc· v(c1)
where v(c1) c is the velocity in relative motion of the grinding wheel with respect to the
worm Vectors in Eq (19.8.9) are represented in S c
We consider that the worm performs the screw motion with the screw parameter p
(Fig 19.7.4) with respect to the grinding wheel, and v(c1) c is represented by Eqs (19.7.7).After transformations, the equation of meshing of the grinding wheel surface with theworm surface is represented by
f (θ, ν) = tan θ − Ec − p cot γ c − d cos ν
b cos ν + (Eccotγc + p) sin ν = 0. (19.8.10)
The equation of meshing does not contain parameter ψ in screw motion because the
relative motion is the screw one Equation (19.8.10) with the given value ofθ provides
two solutions for ν, but only the solution for 0 < ν < 90◦ should be used for further
derivations Recall that Eq (19.8.10) is derived for the case when the surface side II of
a right-hand worm is generated
Lines of Contact on Worm Surface
The line of contact between c and1 is a single line onc and is represented in S c
by Eqs (19.8.7) and (19.8.10) considered simultaneously Figure 19.8.3 shows the line
of contact in the space of parametersθ, ν; the dashed line represents the line of contact
that is out of the working part of the grinding wheel
The worm surface is represented in S1as the set of contact lines between surfaces
c and1 Using this approach, we have derived the equations of the worm surfaces

for both sides, considering the right-hand and left-hand worms Axis x1in the derived
equations is the axis of symmetry for any section of the worm space by a plane that is drawn through the x1axis An axial section of the worm space is obtained by intersecting
the space by the plane y1= 0 To provide the above-mentioned location of the x1axis, asthe axis of symmetry of the axial section of the space, we have to consider the following:
(i) The initially applied coordinate system S1∗ is substituted by a parallel coordinate
system S1 whose origin is displaced along the z∗1 axis at the distance a o (Fig.19.8.4)
(ii) The coordinates of the point of intersection of the axial section of the worm spacewith the pitch cylinder must be
x1= r p, y1= 0, z1=wa x
where w a x is the space width on the pitch cylinder

19.9 GEOMETRY AND GENERATION OF F-II WORMS (VERSION II)
Method for Grinding
The grinding of F worms of version II can be performed by the same tool that is usedfor generation of worms of version I The difference is in the application of specialsetting parameters The geometry of F worms of version II has certain advantages incomparison with the worms of version I: (i) the line of contact between the grindingsurfacecand the worm surface is a planar curve, the circular arc of the axial section
of the torus; and (ii) the shape of the line of contact does not depend on the diameter
of the grinding wheel and the shortest center distance E c
The main idea of the proposed method for grinding is based on application of axes
of meshing There are two axes of meshing when a helicoid is generated by a peripheral
tool with a surface of revolution One of the axes of meshing, I –I , coincides with the
axis of rotation of the tool (Fig 19.9.1); the location and orientation of the other axis of
