-Product Information:
A worm wheel and Worm Gear are two essential components used in mechanical systems to transmit power and motion between two intersecting shafts.
The worm gear, also known as the worm screw, is a cylindrical gear with teeth that resemble those of a screw. It is usually mounted on a shaft called the worm. The worm gear has a helical shape, allowing it to mesh with the worm wheel.
The worm wheel, on the other hand, is a gear with teeth that are perpendicular to the axis of rotation. It is often larger in diameter than the worm gear and is mounted on a separate shaft. The teeth of the worm wheel mesh with the helical teeth of the worm gear, allowing for power transmission and motion transfer between the two shafts.
The main advantage of using a worm wheel and worm gear system is its ability to provide a high gear reduction ratio, typically ranging from 10:1 to 100:1. This means that for every revolution of the worm gear, the worm wheel will rotate only a fraction of a revolution. This gear reduction allows for precise control and slow rotation of the output shaft, making it suitable for applications that require high torque and low speed, such as in conveyor systems, elevators, and heavy machinery.
In addition to its high gear reduction ratio, the worm wheel and worm gear system also offers self-locking capabilities. Due to the helical shape of the worm gear, the friction between the teeth prevents the worm wheel from turning the worm. This self-locking feature is advantageous in applications where it is important to prevent the output shaft from rotating unintentionally, providing increased safety and stability.
Worm wheels and worm gears are commonly made from materials such as steel, bronze, or cast iron, depending on the application requirements. They are manufactured using various machining processes, including hobbing, milling, or grinding, to ensure precise tooth profiles and smooth operation.
Overall, worm wheels and worm gears are crucial components in many mechanical systems, providing high gear reduction ratios, self-locking capabilities, and precise control over power transmission and motion transfer.
