This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that want extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not merely minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-driving the gearmotor so a position can be kept even when power isn’t applied. The precision ground 3/8” stainless steel result shaft is supported by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support a load from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminum structure offers a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is definitely easily installed to any flat surface by utilizing the bottom mounting tabs. Our Regular Spur Gear motors will work with this gearbox (engine sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-speed applications that require high precision and torque.

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel equipment pairings provide large velocity reduction ratios with only 1 gear pairing in a far more compact space in comparison to other styles of gears. We offer up to maximum ratio of 100:1 with this products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings is the low level noise they produce. Some drawbacks are the general low efficiency and the fact that they generate warmth.
Benefit of EP’s Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface has been achieved by work hardening when the frosty rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous structure is not cut.
2) The surface hardness after chilly rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the initial material, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Cold rolled worms are suitable for miniature equipment applications since this could be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or additional soft materials.
4) Because of the implementation of the cold rolling method, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes out with a mirror like complete. Thus, EP-Precision Chilly Rolled Worms give a smooth procedure and long term durability.
Worm gears are made of a worm and a gear (sometimes referred to as a worm wheel), with nonparallel, non-intersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to each other. The worm is usually analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the apparatus is analogous to a spur equipment. The worm is normally the driving component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.
Just like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have an individual start or multiple starts – meaning that there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each complete convert (360 degrees) of the worm advances the equipment by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth will provide a gear reduction of 24:1. For a multi-start worm, the gear reduction equals the number of teeth on the gear, divided by the number of starts on the worm. (That is different from almost every other types of gears, where the gear reduction is definitely a function of the diameters of the two components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is a mixture of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding actions causes friction and temperature, which limits the effectiveness of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. In order to minimize friction (and therefore, temperature), the worm and equipment are made from dissimilar metals – for example, the worm may be made of hardened steel and the gear made of bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides extremely quiet operation. (The use of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also plays a part in quiet operation.) This makes worm gears suitable for use where noise should be minimized, such as in elevators. In addition, the use of a softer materials for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those skilled in heavy equipment or crushing machines.
The primary benefit of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They can also be used as acceleration reducers in low- to medium-velocity applications. And, because their reduction ratio is founded on the amount of gear teeth only, they are smaller sized than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are usually self-locking, which makes them well suited for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power tranny applications requiring high-ratio velocity reduction in a limited space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears supply the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.
Because the worm wheel gearbox performance of a worm equipment drive depends upon the business lead angle and number of starts on the worm – and because increased performance is always an objective, the ratio ought to be kept as low as possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears utilized together will need to have the same diametral pitch and threads.
Our complete type of worms and worm gears could be ordered through the EP Gear Guaranteed Same Day Shipment Plan for the quickest delivery possible.

How to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear production process is also relatively simple. Nevertheless, there is a low transmission performance problem if you don’t understand the how to select the worm gearbox. 3 basic indicate choose high worm equipment efficiency that you need to know:
1) Helix position. The worm equipment drive efficiency mostly rely on the helix position of the worm. Usually, multiple thread worms and gears is more efficient than solitary thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase performance.
2) Lubrication. To choose a brand lubricating essential oil is an essential factor to improve worm gearbox efficiency. As the proper lubrication can decrease worm equipment action friction and temperature.
3) Material selection and Gear Production Technology. For worm shaft, the material ought to be hardened steel. The worm gear materials should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm gear hardness, the friction on the worm teeth is reduced. In worm manufacturing, to use the specific machine for gear cutting and tooth grinding of worms also can increase worm gearbox efficiency.
From a big transmission gearbox power to a straight small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from an array of worm reducer that precisely suits your application requirements.
Worm Gear Container Assembly：
1) You can complete the installation in six different ways.
2) The installation should be solid and reliable.
3) Ensure that you verify the connection between your electric motor and the worm equipment reducer.
4) You must use flexible cables and wiring for a manual set up.
With the help of the most advanced science and drive technology, we have developed several unique “square container” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a lovely appearance. The modular worm gearbox style series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, correct angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is a standard worm gearbox with a bronze worm gear and a worm. Our Helical gearbox products consists of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less swiftness variation UDL series. Their structure and function act like an NMRV worm gearbox.
In the EP worm gears, the output shaft is offset by 90° from the drive shaft. A dual shaft for double-sided result or a cover for the short shaft end are elective as components. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant on the basis of polyethylene glycol, and so are consequently maintenancefree. They are characterized by high performance and self-locking.
Please note:
Due to their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears aren’t ideal for positioning applications.
Worm Gear applications
Program of worm gears, which is similar to a typical spur and the worm, which really is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, allows for smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, while retaining torque or power. It is common for worm gears to have got reductions of 20:1, and even up to 300:1 or greater.
Common gearing includes the unique capability which other gearing components don’t have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, however the “gears” are not able to maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.
What’s the reason behind this inability to rotate the gear-worm?
The angle is not deep enough on the worm, so when the apparatus attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep carefully the zone stuck in position.
