Modeling "worm gear shaft"
Hello at all,
i need your held with an construction. i need a worm gear shaft. You will see it at this web page: http://www.maedler.de/Article/32145000. But i need a part in which you can see the toth of the worm shaft gear. Not just as a cylinder. i have tried to designing it with inventor but it doesn't work.
Is anybody here a good engineer and can designing it for me? PLEASE !!!

two possibilities for creation
1. use the Worm gear generator from Menu "Design" (standard representation of the menu item is "Spur gear") in an assembly
2. use the function "Coil" from the 3D-Model menu with a trapezoidal section to subtract the material not needed from the cylinder
(no inventor available due to weekend)
This is square-threaded screw, power screw, or ACME screw.
In Inventor you can
- draw a cylinder
- draw a helix
- at the helix end, draw a square or (trapeze) depending on the cross-sectional area of the thread
- sweep the square along the helix path.
- cut the helical object from the cylinder
