The influence of the position and shape geometry of the counter-conical motion transmitter pin on the pitch fluctuation of the spiroid worm machined with adjusted shaft

Abstract

The difference between the mathematical defined shape of the conical helicoid surface and the operating surface of the spiroid worm produced with axis adjustment on a thread grinding machine results – among other things –in thread pitch fluctuation.  During the manufacturing of conical helicoid surfaces the transmission of the rotation from the main spindle to the worm shaft can be realised by a driving pin and an adjusted lathe dog.  This article deals with the examination of the fluctuation of the thread pitch parameter occurring when using a counter-conical drive pin. The fluctuation is described here as a function of the position and the shape geometry of the drive pin.
