same amount. If the load is increased
more and more then eventually F2 will
become zero because belt cannot support

Fatique Failure for Bending Stress
Generally the teeth of the worm is stronger - value has to be increased or
than the teeth of the gear in terms of bending. -Use a larger belt section
Thus the bending fatigue failure of worm
gear set is based on the bending stress value Note:F1 from table 17-1 and Fi
