Efficiency of Worm Gear given lead angle, pressure angle and coefficient of friction evaluator uses Worm Gear Efficiency = (cos(Pressure Angle of Worm Gear)-Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*tan(Lead Angle of Worm))/(cos(Pressure Angle of Worm Gear)+Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*cot(Lead Angle of Worm)) to evaluate the Worm Gear Efficiency, Efficiency of Worm Gear given lead angle, pressure angle and coefficient of friction is simply calculated as the [output shaft power /Input shaft power]. The output power is the (input power - power losses). Power losses in gear systems are associated primarily with tooth friction and lubrication churning losses. Worm Gear Efficiency is denoted by η symbol.
