Worm Gear | Reduction Gearbox

The worm gear reducer is composed of helical pinion input, worm gear output and is a type of gearbox characterized by right angle output direction. This type of gearbox is generally used to take the nominal speed of the motor and generate a low speed output with a higher torque value depending on the reduction ratio. The worm gear reducer is one of the smoothest reduction gearboxes available due to the small diameter of the output gear, so it can often solve the space saving problem.

 

Worm gear reducers are the most popular reducers because they offer the greatest reduction in the smallest package. Not surprisingly, many power transmission systems use worm gear reducers due to the high deceleration ratio and increased high torque output. The most common applications for worm gears can be found in adjusting instruments, medical testing equipment, elevators, security doors, and conveyor belts.

SW-1 and SW-5

There are two sizes of worm gearboxes SW-1 and SW-5, which are available in various proportions. The SW-1 ratio includes 3.5: 1 to 60: 1 and the SW-5 ratio includes 5: 1 to 100: 1. Both options are manufactured in a rugged polyester housing with compression-molded glass padding for a speed reducer Lightweight, durable and long lasting that is compact, non-corrosive and non-metallic.

Features

The  worm gear reducers offer either rigid or vacuum output shaft options and have adjustable mounting positions. However, SW-1 and SW-5 are more capable of withstanding shock loads than other reducer designs, making them ideal for demanding applications.
