Worm Gear Reducers often known as worm gearbox or worm velocity reducers. Worm gear reducers are used for speed reduction and increasing the torque for electrical engine drives. You can choose to mount your NEMA electric motor to the reducer utilizing the NEMA C encounter flange or work with a coupling. If you need a coupling for the outcome or input shaft see our coupling section for choosing the coupling. You can expect four assemblies left hands and right hand and double output shaft and shaft input and shaft result. Interchangeable with the majority of worm equipment manufactures. See data sheet in product review for diamensions. Unless you see your type, you should E MAIL US.
EP GEARS also sells gear tooth measuring products called GEAR GAGES! Gear Gages lessen mistakes, save money and time when identifying and buying gears. These pitch templates can be found in nine sets to identify all the common pitch sizes: Diametral Pitch “DP”, Circular
MATERIAL recommended for worms is hardened steel and bronze for worm gears. However, depending on the application unhardened metal worms operate adequately and even more economically with cast iron worm gears at 50% horsepower ratings. Furthermore to metal and hardenedsteel, worms are available in stainless, lightweight aluminum, bronze and nylon; worm gears are available in steel, hardened steel, stainless, aluminum, nylon and non-metallic (phenolic).
Protection PROVISION: Worm gearing should not be used when a locking mechanism to carry hefty weights where reversing actions can cause harm or injury. In applications where potential injury is nonexistent and self-locking is ideal against backward rotation in that case use of an individual thread worm with a minimal helix angle instantly locks the worm gear travel against backward rotation.
