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-generating the gearmotor so a position can be held even when power isn’t applied. The precision floor 3/8” stainless steel result shaft is backed by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to aid lots from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminium structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is definitely easily mounted to any flat surface by utilizing the base mounting tabs. Our Regular Spur Gear motors will continue to work with this gearbox (electric motor offered separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-rate applications that require high precision and torque.

Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been achieved by function hardening when the frosty rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms due to fact that the metallic fibrous framework has not been cut.

2) The top hardness after cool rolling is increased by 1.2 to 1 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the original material, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.

3) Cold rolled worms are suitable for miniature equipment applications since this can be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or other soft materials.

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

Worm gears are constructed of a worm and a gear (sometimes referred to as a worm wheel), with nonparallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to one another. The worm is definitely analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear is analogous to a spur gear. The worm is normally the generating component, with the worm’s thread advancing one’s teeth of the gear.

Like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have a single start or multiple starts – meaning that there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full convert (360 degrees) of the worm increases the gear by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-start worm, the gear reduction equals the number of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (That is different from almost every other types of gears, where the gear reduction is certainly a function of the diameters of the two components.)
The meshing of the worm and the gear is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding action causes friction and warmth, which limits the efficiency of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. In order to minimize friction (and for that reason, high temperature), the worm and gear are made from dissimilar metals – for instance, the worm may be made of hardened metal and the gear made of bronze or aluminum.

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

The primary advantage of worm gears is their capability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They can also be utilized as rate reducers in low- to medium-swiftness applications. And, because their reduction ratio is founded on the amount of gear teeth alone, they are smaller sized than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, which makes them perfect for hoisting and lifting applications.

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

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

How to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear manufacturing process can be relatively simple. However, there exists a low transmission efficiency problem in the event that you don’t understand the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic indicate choose high worm gear efficiency that you should know:

1) Helix angle. The worm equipment drive efficiency mostly depend on the helix angle of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears is usually more efficient than single thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase performance.

2) Lubrication. To select a brand lubricating essential oil can be an essential factor to boost worm gearbox performance. As the proper lubrication can reduce worm gear action friction and heat.

3) Material selection and Gear Manufacturing Technology. For worm shaft, the material ought to be hardened metal. The worm gear materials ought to be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm gear hardness, the friction on the worm tooth is reduced. In worm production, to use the specific machine for gear slicing and tooth grinding of worms can also 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 can complete the set up in six different ways.

2) The installation must be solid and reliable.

3) Ensure that you examine the connection between your engine and the worm gear reducer.

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

By using the innovative science and drive technology, we’ve developed several unique “square container” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a beautiful appearance. The modular worm gearbox style series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, right angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is a typical worm gearbox with a bronze worm gear and a worm. Our Helical gearbox products consists of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less velocity variation UDL series. Their structure and function are similar to 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 optionally available as components. EP gearboxes come with a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant on the basis of polyethylene glycol, and are therefore maintenancefree. They are seen as a high efficiency and self-locking.

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

Worm Gear applications
Program of worm gears, which is comparable to a typical spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, permits smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, whilst retaining torque or power. It’s quite common for worm gears to have reductions of 20:1, and also up to 300:1 or greater.

Standard gearing includes the initial capability which additional gearing components do not have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, however the “gears” cannot maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.

What’s the reason behind this inability to rotate the gear-worm?

The angle isn’t 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 in position.
