Worm gear - For high transmission ratios, low speeds and high torques
Worm gears are mainly used for high transmission ratios, low speeds and high torques. The sliding motion is very high in this type of gearing.
Specific properties such as effectiveness or any self-inhibition must be taken into account during design in order to enjoy the benefits of this type of gearing. The materials used in the worm and the worm gear must be coordinated carefully.
In addition to the worm gears in our gear range, we also manufacture workpieces to suit customer specifications. We would gladly design the engineering parameters on your behalf.
Module | Diameter | Shaft length |
Pitch angle | |
Worm gear, spun | 1 - 8 | depending on the module, approx. 10–105 mm | up to 400 mm | up to 15° |
Worm gear, milled | 1 - 10 | approx. 10–320 mm | up to 650 mm | - |
Worm gear, ground | 1 - 10 | approx. 10–320 mm | up to 400 mm | - |
Pitch: 0.75–1000 mm
Of course, we test the pressure angle and pitch!
