Our complete type of worms and worm gears can be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Time Shipment Program for the quickest delivery possible.
Product Features
90°, nonintersecting shaft applications answer highly specialized power transmitting needs.
Our worm gears offer the smoothest, quietest form of gearing.
They provide high-ratio speed reduction in minimal spaces.
Their efficiency is easily increased by reducing ratios.
With some ratios, there is level of resistance to back driving.
Offered from 48 DP to 3 DP
Stocked as single, dual and quad start configurations
Because the efficiency of a worm equipment drive depends upon the lead angle and number of starts on the worm – and because increased performance is always a goal, the ratio ought to be kept as low as possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears utilized together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide a highly effective answer for power transmitting applications requiring high-ratio swiftness reduction in a restricted space using right angle (90°), nonintersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears supply the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.
The primary benefit of worm gears is their capability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be utilized as quickness reducers in low- to medium-speed applications. And, because their reduction ratio is based on the amount of gear teeth alone, they are smaller sized than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are usually self-locking, which makes them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The use of dissimilar metals for the 
worm and equipment also plays a part in quiet procedure.) This would make worm gears ideal for use where sound should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the utilization of a softer materials for the gear implies that it could absorb shock loads, like those experienced in large equipment or crushing devices.
