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 posture can be kept even when power is not applied. The precision ground 3/8” stainless steel result shaft is backed by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support lots from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminum structure offers a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and can be easily mounted to any flat surface by utilizing the bottom mounting tabs. Our Standard Spur Gear motors will continue to work with this gearbox (motor sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-quickness applications that require high precision and torque.

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel equipment pairings provide large rate reduction ratios with only 1 equipment pairing in a far more compact space in comparison to other types of gears. We offer up to a maximum ratio of 100:1 with this products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel equipment pairings may be the low level sound they produce. Some disadvantages are the general low effectiveness and the fact that they generate warmth.

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

2) The top 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 area increases to around HB240 to 260.

3) Frosty rolled worms are suitable for miniature gear applications since this could be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels made out of 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 away with a mirror like finish. Thus, EP-Precision Cool Rolled Worms give a smooth procedure and long term durability.

Worm gears are made of a worm and a gear (sometimes known as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to each other. The worm is usually analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the apparatus is certainly analogous to a spur gear. The worm is typically the driving component, with the worm’s thread advancing one’s teeth of the gear.

Such as a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have a single start or multiple starts – and therefore there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full change (360 degrees) of the worm increases the gear by one tooth. Therefore a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the apparatus reduction equals the amount of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the amount of starts 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 both components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is a mixture of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding actions causes friction and warmth, which limits the efficiency of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, heat), the worm and equipment are constructed with dissimilar metals – for example, the worm may be made of hardened metal and the gear manufactured from bronze or aluminum.

Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides extremely quiet operation. (The use of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also plays a part in quiet operation.) This makes worm gears ideal for use where noise should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the use 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 benefit of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be used as acceleration reducers in low- to medium-quickness 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 usually self-locking, which makes them perfect for hoisting and lifting applications.

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

Because the performance of a worm equipment drive depends upon the lead angle and amount of starts on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always a goal, the ratio should be kept only possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears utilized together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.

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

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

2) Lubrication. To choose a brand lubricating essential oil can be an essential factor to improve worm gearbox effectiveness. As the proper lubrication can decrease worm equipment action friction and warmth.

3) Material selection and Gear Production Technology. For worm shaft, the material should be hardened metal. The worm gear material should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm gear hardness, the friction on the worm the teeth is reduced. In worm manufacturing, to use the specialized machine for gear trimming and tooth grinding of worms can also increase worm gearbox effectiveness.

From a sizable transmission gearbox power 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 Package Assembly：
1) You may complete the installation in six different ways.

2) The installation should be solid and reliable.

3) Ensure that you check the connection between your motor 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 have developed several unique “square package” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a beautiful 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 is usually 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 speed variation UDL series. Their framework 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 add-ons. EP gearboxes come with a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant based on polyethylene glycol, and so are consequently maintenancefree. They are characterized by high performance and self-locking.

Please note:
Because of their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears aren’t ideal 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 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 actually up to 300:1 or greater.

Normal gearing includes the unique 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 real reason for this inability to rotate the gear-worm?

The angle isn’t deep enough on the worm, so when the gear attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep the zone stuck in position.
