Worms and Worm Gears

Worm and worm gears manufactured by True Gear & Spline Ltd. are known for their superior quality. They are made of a cylindrical screw or a worm that meshes with a worm wheel. The two are typically perpendicular to each other. They are available with a maximum diameter of 30’’ and 3 diametral pitch. Our worm and worm gear setup is most commonly used in automotives, conveyor systems, elevators/lifts, gates/doors, hoists/winches, mining equipment and packaging.

DESCRIPTION

30” Max. Diameter

Up to 3 DP

APPLICATIONS

- Automotive Sector: Worm and worm gears are often used in automobiles for steering systems due to their high gear ratio

- Conveyor Systems: Conveyor systems also benefit from worm and worm gears due to their compact nature and the ability to achieve a high gear ratio

- Elevators: Elevators use worm and worm gears due to their ability to achieve high torque, as it is a requirement to lift heavy loads

- Gates/Doors: Worm and worm gears are used in gates and doors due to their self-locking feature that prevents the gate from being forced open or dislodged

- Hoists/Winches: Hoists and winches also require high torque for their applications, which worm and worm gears can easily provide

- Mining Equipment: Heavy load carrying equipment, such as augers, bucket elevators and crushers, all benefit from the smooth operation of these gears

- Packaging: In the packaging sector, speed reduction and torque control are vital, making worm and worm gears an excellent option for this application

FEATURES

- Worm and worm gears offer high torque as they offer an excellent gear ratio

- These gears also have the ability to exhibit precise load control, which, when combined with their compact design, can be a game-changer

- Worm and worm gears are also known for their self-locking feature, adding an extra layer of safety in applications where gear back driving is detrimental
