Our complete type of worms and worm gears can be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Day time Shipment Program for the quickest delivery possible.
Product Features
90°, nonintersecting shaft applications answer highly specialized power transmitting needs.
Our worm gears provide smoothest, quietest form of gearing.
They provide high-ratio speed decrease in minimal spaces.
Their efficiency is easily increased by lowering ratios.
With some ratios, there is level of resistance to back driving.
Obtainable from 48 DP to 3 DP
Stocked as single, double and quad start configurations

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

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

The primary benefit of worm gears is their capability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They can also be applied as acceleration reducers in low- to moderate-acceleration applications. And, because their reduction ratio is based on the number of gear teeth only, they are more compact than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, making them well suited for hoisting and lifting applications.

Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The utilization of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also plays a part in quiet procedure.) This produces worm gears suitable for use where noise should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the utilization of a softer material for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those experienced in weighty equipment or crushing machines.
