High-quality worm gears and worm shafts
Worm gears and worm shafts consist of a “worm” with a screw shape that rotates into a meshing worm gear.
In the field of drive technology, the worm shaft in a worm gear is the component that transmits the torque. The worm shaft drives the worm gears by screwing into the worm gear. The number of teeth on the worm gear is also called the number of gears. The worm gear can be used to transmit high forces, as several teeth are always in engagement at the same time.
While the worm shaft is usually made of round steel, the worm gear is made of bronze, for example, due to its self-lubricating effect.
We manufacture worm shafts by precise milling, whirling and grinding and offer them in modules from 1 to 14 with a diameter of up to 320 mm. A pitch of 0.25 to 315 mm is possible. The pitch angle can be a maximum of 40 degrees. We present our worm gears in the same modules, but with a diameter of 15 to 630 mm and a center distance of up to 450 mm.
