All About Worm Gears


The worm gears provide not only great torque multiplication but also high reduction ratios. Their application also includes the low to medium speed reducers. The worm gear is made up of soft metal such as aluminum bronze whereas worm is made up of hard metal. The Enveloping Worm Gear is made up of hard metal because of the large number of its teeth in comparison of the worm.


The applications for worm gears includes where a fine speed adjustment by utilizing a significant speed reduction is needed such as gearboxes, fishing pole reels, guitar string tuning pegs and so on. Also, Globoidal Worm Gears are best for elevators (where the noise minimized purpose is required). Furthermore, the softer part of the worm is used mainly to absorb shock loads in massive machines. They are also used to increase torque. They not only take less space but also are self-locking.
