Worm Gearbox / Gear Reducer
SITI metric worm gear units are available in 12 sizes and are built of pressure die-cast aluminum and cast iron. They are interchangeable with most European brands and are available with multiple bolt-on components to customize for your application, including; helical input, double worm combinations, multiple output flanges per size, torque arm, shaft covers, and single & double output shafts.
A Worm Gearbox Reducer is a form of reduction gearbox with a worm pinion input and a right-angle output worm gear. Based on the reduction ratio, this form of reduction gearbox is typically used to convert a motor’s rated speed into a low-speed output with a higher torque value. Due to the small diameter of its output gear, the worm gearbox reducer is one of the most compact reduction gearboxes available and can frequently solve space-saving issues.
Popular types of speed reducers include worm gearbox reducers, which offer the greatest speed reduction in the smallest package. With a high ratio of speed reduction and a high torque output multiplier, it is not surprising that worm gearbox reducers are utilized in numerous power transmission systems.
How Do Worm Gears Do Their Job?
The worm receives rotational energy from a motor. The worm rotates against the worm wheel, while the screw face exerts force against the worm wheel via the teeth. The force pushes against the worm wheel.
Advantages of a Worm Gearbox
- High gear ratio
- High torque multiplication
- Quiet operation
- Shock load absorption
