Worm Gear Reducers also called worm gearbox or worm acceleration reducers. Worm equipment reducers are being used for speed decrease and increasing the torque for electrical motor drives. You can tend to attach your NEMA engine to the reducer by using the NEMA C confront flange or work with a coupling. If you desire a coupling for the end result or input shaft look at our coupling section for selecting a coupling. We offer four assemblies left side and right side and double result shaft and shaft type and shaft output. Interchangeable with many worm gear manufactures. See info sheet in product overview for diamensions. Unless you see your type, you should E MAIL US.<\/p>\n
EP GEARS also sells gear tooth measuring devices called GEAR GAGES! Gear Gages reduce mistakes, save time and money when identifying and buying gears. These pitch templates can be purchased in nine sets to recognize all ![](\"http:\/\/worm-gearbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/metric-worm-gears.jpg\")
the common pitch sizes: Diametral Pitch \u201cDP\u201d, Circular Pitch \u201cCP\u201d, Exterior Involute Splines, Metric Module \u201cMOD\u201d, Stub Tooth, Great Pitches, Coarse Pitches and Unusual Pitches. Refer to the section on GEAR GAGES for catalog quantities when ordering.<\/p>\n
Materials recommended for worms is normally hardened steel and bronze for worm gears. Nevertheless, depending on the application form unhardened metal worms operate adequately and more economically with cast iron worm gears at 50% horsepower ratings. Furthermore to metal and hardenedsteel, worms can be purchased in stainless, lightweight aluminum, bronze and nylon; worm gears can be purchased in steel, hardened metal, stainless, aluminium, nylon and non-metallic (phenolic).<\/p>\n
Protection PROVISION: Worm gearing should not be used while a locking mechanism to carry major weights where reversing action can cause harm or personal injury. In applications where potential harm is nonexistent and self-locking is desired against backward rotation after that use of a single thread worm with a low helix angle immediately locks the worm equipment travel against backward rotation.<\/p>\n
