IDEA NOTE Length in the motor shaft direction needs to be reduced.
By using the thrust bearing, the shaft is made capable to withstand the thrust load without coupling.
IDEA NOTE Use of a low thrust motor
By using the thrust bearing, load to the motor is reduced.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF CAD DATA
Your access to the CAD data that MISUMI Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Company) posts on this site (including 3D CAD data, intermediate 3D CAD data and 2D CAD data; hereinafter referred to as the Data) are of products manufactured and/or sold by the Company (hereinafter referred to as the Products) assumes that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions which govern your use of the Data. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must stop using this website and the Data.

1. CAD Data
The Data is prepared for assisting the Company's users in the CAD design process by providing dimensions and other Product information. In order to provide the best speed and stability working within this site, the Product drawings were simplified to reduce the size of the Data. For instance, some of the Products are shown without the oil groove shape, screws or spring shape. Also, please be aware that the tolerance, surface roughness and/or chamfer of the Data may vary from the actual Products.

Assembly data shows the assembly drawings in the concept design phase. The sole purpose of the data is to explain the structure and functionality of the assembly and is not considered nor to be used as a final design.
You will need to edit the Data so that it meets your specific design conditions.
The CAD data unit assembly consists of sub-assemblies.
Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
* The part in the frame is a sub-assembly unit.
The Data for fabricated parts is based on easy-to-edit dimensions and shapes in sketches and histories.
The Data including the third-part components are made by the Company.
* Unit assembly CAD data consists of some sub-assemblies.
Each sub-assembly unit can be used as it is or can be edited.
Application Overview
Purpose
Purpose
Reducing the thrust load to the motor shaft without using coupling.
Operation
Worm gear and wheel are rotated by the motor, and the drum on the shaft wind the wire.
Points for use
Applicable to thrust load from one direction only.
Target workpiece
Shape: Block
Size: W40 x D40 x H25mm
Weight: 0.3kg
Design Specifications
Operating Conditions or Design Requirements
Up and down stroke: 30mm
External size: W123 x D125 x H92mm
Required Performance
Load: 3N
Selection Criteria for Main Components
A motor with thrust load of 0.8N is selected to pull up a workpiece of 0.3kg.
Design Evaluation
Verification of main components
Select the bearing to withstand the load weight.
Thrust bearing selection
Conditional values: Diameter of the wire winding part of the drum d1 = 28mm, pitch circle diameter of the worm wheel d2 = 30mm, motor rotational speed z1 = 1200rpm, workpiece mass W = 0.3kg, gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s², work movement length l1 = 30mm, friction coefficient on the tooth surface µ = 0.0167, tooth rectangular pressure angle a = 20°, worm gear advance angle y1 = 3.58°, pitch circle diameter of worm gear d3 = 16mm, worm gear rotational speed q1 = 1200mm, basic load rating of thrust bearing c1 = 6.8kN
Number of revolution necessary for the drum to wind the workpiece n1 is given as follows: n1 = d1 x π / l1 = 28 x π / 30 = 2.93 Motor rotation time at that time is given by t1 = d2 x n1 x (60 x z1) = 30 x 2.93 x (60 x 1200) = 4.40t
Net power H1 applied to the worm gear is given by H1 = W x g x l1 / t1 = 0.3 x 9.8 x 30 / 4.40 = 0.02N = 2.72 x 10-5 PS
Apparent friction angle on the tooth surface p1 is given by p1 = tan - 1 (µ) = tan - 1 (0.0167) = 0.957°
Axial thrust load F1 of the worm gear is given by F1 = F2 / tan (y + p) = 1.432 x H1 x 106 / {tan (y1 + p1) x d3 x q1} x g = 1.432 x 2.72 x 10-5 x 106 / {tan (3.58 + 0.957) x 16 x 1200} x 9.8 = 0.25N < 6.8kN = c1 ⇒No problem
Other Design Consideration
The bearing, instead of bush, is used although operation turns into low speed rotation because of the worm gear and wheel drive.
Mounting should be conducted so that no gap exists between the motor bracket, bearing, and the worm gear.
