worm & worm wheel

worms and worm gears provide an effective solution for power worm & worm wheel transmission applications requiring high-ratio speed reduction in a restricted space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.

Because the performance of a worm equipment drive depends on the business lead angle and quantity of starts on the worm – and because increased effectiveness 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.

Our complete line of worms and worm gears could be ordered through the Boston Gear Guaranteed Same Day time Shipment System for the quickest delivery possible.
