Catia V5 - Tutorial-Worm PDF

The document describes how to design a basic worm that can be reused in assemblies using Catia V5. It provides parameters and formulas for worm design, including the pressure angle, modulus, number of thread turns, diameters, lengths, helix angles, and tooth dimensions. The tutorial then explains the steps to generate the worm by drawing a pitch helix, adding straight segments, making the thread profile and helical thread, adding extremities, intersecting a cylinder, and adding a hub surface.

Designing parametric

worms with Catia V5

Published at http://gtrebaol.free.fr/doc/catia/worm.html

The worm is a part of a worm / worm wheel reduction gear

This tutorial shows how to make a basic worm that you can freely re-use in your
assemblies.

 The worm can be coupled with a worm gear or with an helical gear.
 The principle for designing a worm consists in drawing a thread helix that cuts a
cylinder.
 The worm dimension is taken from the part catalog Engrenages H.P.C, June 1999
edition.
 The worm above corresponds to the part ref. W1,5-1 page 358.
