Abstract: The load distribution and calculating formulae of the contact
stresses in the rotor worm and stator helical surface for toroidal drive are given. The effecting factors on contact
stresses and their effects are analyzed. The results is useful
for reference purposes in manufacture and design of the drive.
Key words: Toroidal
