worm wheel gearbox

This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that want extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-generating the gearmotor so a posture can be kept even when power isn't applied. The precision surface 3/8” stainless steel output shaft is supported by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to aid lots from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and light weight aluminum structure offers a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is definitely easily mounted to any flat work surface by utilizing the bottom mounting tabs. Our Regular Spur Gear motors will continue to work with this gearbox (motor sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-acceleration applications that want high precision and torque.

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large velocity reduction ratios with only one equipment pairing in a far more compact space when compared with other types of gears. We offer up to maximum ratio of 100:1 with our products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings may be the low level sound they produce. Some disadvantages will be the general low efficiency and the actual fact that they generate high temperature.

Benefit of EP's Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been attained by work hardening when the cool rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms due to reality that the metallic fibrous structure is not cut.

2) The top hardness after frosty rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the initial material, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.

3) Frosty rolled worms are ideal for miniature gear applications since this could be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or other soft materials.

4) Due to the implementation of the cold rolling technique, the helicoid surface area of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes out with a mirror like complete. Thus, EP-Precision Chilly Rolled Worms give a smooth procedure and long-term durability.

Worm gears are made of a worm and a equipment (sometimes known as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to one another. The worm can be analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear is analogous to a spur gear. The worm is normally the traveling component, with the worm's thread advancing the teeth of the gear.

Just like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear might have an individual start or multiple starts – and therefore there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full change (360 degrees) of the worm increases the equipment by one tooth. Therefore a gear with 24 teeth will provide a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the gear reduction equals the amount of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (This is different from most other types of gears, where the gear reduction is usually a function of the diameters of both components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding actions causes friction and high temperature, which limits the performance of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. In order to minimize friction (and therefore, heat), the worm and gear are made from dissimilar metals – for instance, the worm could be made of hardened steel and the gear made of bronze or aluminum.

Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The use of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also contributes to quiet procedure.) This makes worm gears ideal for use where noise should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the use of a softer materials for the apparatus means that it can absorb shock loads, like those skilled in heavy equipment or crushing devices.

The primary advantage of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be used as speed reducers in low- to medium-rate applications. And, because their reduction ratio is founded on the number of gear teeth by itself, they are smaller sized than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, which makes them well suited for hoisting and lifting applications.

Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear's worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power tranny applications requiring high-ratio speed reduction in a limited space using correct angle (90°), nonintersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears supply the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.

Because the performance of a worm equipment drive depends on the lead angle and quantity of starts on the worm – and because increased effectiveness is always an objective, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.

Our complete line of worms and worm gears can be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Day time Shipment Plan for the fastest delivery possible.

How to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear manufacturing process can be relatively simple. Nevertheless, there exists a low transmission effectiveness problem if you don't know the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic point to choose high worm equipment efficiency that you should know:

1) Helix position. The worm gear drive efficiency mostly rely on the helix angle of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears is definitely more efficient than one thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase performance.

2) Lubrication. To select a brand lubricating oil is an essential factor to boost worm gearbox performance. As the correct lubrication can decrease worm gear action friction and warmth.

3) Materials selection and Gear Production Technology. For worm shaft, the material ought to be hardened metal. The worm gear material should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm gear hardness, the friction on the worm tooth is decreased. In worm production, to use the specialized machine for gear slicing and tooth grinding of worms also can increase worm gearbox effectiveness.

From a huge transmission gearbox capacity to an even small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from a wide variety of worm reducer that precisely matches your application requirements.

Worm Gear Package Assembly：
1) You may complete the installation in six various ways.

2) The installation must be solid and reliable.

3) Make sure to verify the connection between your engine and the worm equipment reducer.

4) You must make use of flexible cables and wiring for a manual installation.

By using the innovative science and drive technology, we've developed several unique “square package” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a beautiful appearance. The modular worm gearbox design series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, correct angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is a standard worm gearbox with a bronze worm equipment and a worm. Our Helical gearbox product line consists of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less velocity variation UDL series. Their framework and function act like an NMRV worm gearbox.

In the EP worm gears, the output shaft is offset by 90° from the drive shaft. A dual shaft for double-sided result or a cover for the short shaft end are elective as components. EP gearboxes come with a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant based on polyethylene glycol, and are therefore maintenancefree. They are characterized by high efficiency and self-locking.

Please note:
Because of their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears aren't suitable for positioning applications.

Worm Gear applications
Application of worm gears, which is similar to a typical spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, allows for smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, whilst retaining torque or power. It's quite common for worm gears to possess reductions of 20:1, and actually up to 300:1 or greater.

Common gearing includes the initial capability which various other gearing components don't have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, however the “gears” cannot maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.

What's the real reason for this inability to rotate the gear-worm?

The angle is not deep enough on the worm, so when the apparatus attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep the zone stuck constantly in place.
