Abstract
A method for assembling a helically geared first sprocket, particularly a worm gear and a second sprocket arranged on an axis, particularly a worm, to form a transmission, particularly a worm drive, in which the first sprocket is positioned coaxially in reference to an axis of assembly of the first sprocket, aligned at a 90° position in reference to the axis via an assembly device.
Claims8
A method for assembling a helically geared first sprocket, and a second sprocket, arranged on an axis, in order to form a transmission, in which via an assembly device the first sprocket is positioned coaxially in reference to an axis of assembly of the first sprocket, positioned at a 90° position in reference to the axis, wherein
- a) the first sprocket is moved in the axial direction of assembly via the assembly device until contacting the second sprocket,
- b) in case of missing gears between the first sprocket and the second sprocket the first sprocket is lifted off the second sprocket via the assembly device, opposite the direction of assembly, and the first sprocket is rotated by a predetermined rotary angle around its own axis,
- c) the processing steps a) and b) are repeated as many times as necessary until the first sprocket can be brought into engagement with the second sprocket, and
- d) the first sprocket can be completely engaged with the second sprocket via the assembly device by way of executing an axial compensation motion in the direction of assembly and by a compensating rotary motion caused by the helical teeth of the first sprocket.
