compute_tangential_force¶

WormGear.compute_tangential_force() → None

It computes the tangential_force applied on the gear threads by the mating gear.

Considering a gear mating:

if the gear is the master one, then it takes into account the load_torque for the computation,
if the gear is the slave one, then it take into account the driving_torque for the computation.

The tangential force is computed dividing the just described reference torque by the reference radius (half of the reference_diameter).
