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

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large quickness reduction ratios with only one gear pairing in a more compact space when compared with other types of gears. We offer up to a maximum ratio of 100:1 with this products. Another advantage of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings may be the low level noise they produce. Some disadvantages are the general low performance and the fact that they generate high temperature.

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

2) The surface hardness after cold rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times in comparison to the hardness of the original materials, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.

3) Cool rolled worms are suitable for miniature gear applications since this is often rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels made out of POM or additional 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 away with a mirror like complete. Thus, EP-Precision Cold Rolled Worms give a smooth operation 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 each other. The worm can be analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear can be analogous to a spur equipment. The worm is typically the traveling component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.

Such as 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 complete change (360 degrees) of the worm advances the gear by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduction of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the apparatus reduction equals the amount of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (This is different from almost every other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is definitely 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 heat, which limits the performance of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and therefore, heat), the worm and equipment are made of dissimilar metals – for example, the worm could be made of hardened steel and the gear manufactured from bronze or aluminum.

Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The usage of dissimilar metals for the worm and equipment also plays a part in quiet procedure.) This makes worm gears ideal for use where sound should be minimized, such as in elevators. Furthermore, the use of a softer material for the gear means that it can absorb shock loads, like those skilled in large equipment or crushing machines.

The primary benefit of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be utilized as speed reducers in low- to medium-rate applications. And, because their decrease ratio is based on the amount of gear teeth only, they are more compact than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are usually self-locking, making them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.

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

Because the performance of a worm gear drive depends upon the lead angle and number of begins on the worm – and because increased performance is always a goal, the ratio ought to be kept only possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears used together will need to have the same diametral pitch and threads.

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

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

2) Lubrication. To choose a brand lubricating oil is an essential factor to improve worm gearbox effectiveness. As the correct lubrication can decrease worm gear action friction and temperature.

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

From a large transmission gearbox capacity to an even small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from an array of worm reducer that precisely suits your application requirements.

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

2) The installation should be solid and reliable.

3) Make sure to verify the connection between the electric motor and the worm gear reducer.

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

With the help of the most advanced science and drive technology, we’ve developed several unique “square box” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a lovely 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 can be a typical worm gearbox with a bronze worm equipment and a worm. Our Helical gearbox product line comprises of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less acceleration 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 double shaft for double-sided output or a cover for the brief shaft end are elective as add-ons. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant based on polyethylene glycol, and are for that reason maintenancefree. They are characterized by high effectiveness and self-locking.

Please note:
Due to their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears are not suitable for positioning applications.

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

Regular gearing includes the unique capability which various other gearing components don’t have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, but the “gears” are not able to 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 gear attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep carefully the zone stuck constantly in place.
