According to my Machinery's Handbook, the dimensions and gaging depths for english cross recesses of machine screws should be found in ANSI/ASME B18.6.3-1972, R1991
Just make your spur gear infinately thin and it will work fine [wink]. Seriously though, you could try to make several very thin spur gears & stack them together, rotated according to the worm lead.
If you're planning to heat from the outside as you describe, to heat the oil will require:
BTU=(Vol X Density X Specific Heat X ?T)/t
where: Vol is volume in gallons
Density is in lbs/gallon
Specific Heat is in btu/lb/°F
?T is temperature rise in...
Thanks for the info & help. I will check out the products that you've suggested & try to figure out how to incorporate them into what I have. And just for the record, I didn't pick this - I just inherited it.
Thanks for the info. We're using the 'stock' matching heat sink with thermal paste. There are fans at each end of the heat sink- one pushing, the other pulling. The heat sink is slightly above room temperature, but certainly not what I'd call hot. I'll take a closer look at the cci product...
I seem to be having a problem with a recurring Crydom D53TP50D ssr that I'm trying to diagnose. This problem is outside my scope of knowledge, so any advise is appreciated. The application & history is: This is a drying oven where the load of the SSR is a 208V 18KW heater assembly controlled...
Yes, scarecrow55 that's where I was going - face width, helix angle, shaft shoulders & other physical limitations. I'm aware of what it is & how it's used, I just was making sure that's what we were talking about before pointing out some of the possible limitations to using it.

I did this for several years and unfortunately longer have the information readily available, but I am 100% confident that using pins or wires to measure a helical gear with odd numbers of teeth will give an inacurate measurement. It might be 'close' depending on pin diameter, pitch & pressure...
Pins will give you an incorrect measurement because the contact point will not be through the spherical center (and consequently the tangent points of the profile). For convenience, measuring 'balls' are often made like dumbells - balls with a fixed length rod between. This helps to set them...
I agree with ewh - .0001 is referred to as a 'tenth' because the traditional division of a manual inch micrometer is .001" Therefore everything is spoke relative to that 'unit' of measure - so 1/10 of that of 'that unit' is .0001", 10 units is .010", 100 units is .100" and so on.

Skunkmilk has discovered the 'eliptical gear sets' are not truly eliptical. Take note of the text in the graphic on the cunningham links above - Eliptical Bilobes. If you model elipses with a very large major axis and a very small minor axis and roll them together on a fixed center distance...
