Abstract:A method to make the hourglass worm gearing with the property of mismatchedpoint contact has been proposed.The worm and the hob of the worm gearing is generated by a coneand a straight line located on the cone respectively. The basic principle of the worm gearing has beenanalysed. The formulas for calcultating the machining parameters has been obtained. And the toothcontact of the worm gearing has been investigated.The result shows that this worm gearing could getopint contact well.
