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-generating the gearmotor so a posture can be held even when power is not applied. The precision floor 3/8” stainless steel output shaft is backed by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support lots from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and light weight aluminum structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is certainly easily installed to any flat work surface by utilizing the base mounting tabs. Our Standard Spur Gear motors will continue to work with this gearbox (motor offered separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is ideal for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-rate applications that want high precision and torque.

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large swiftness decrease ratios with only one equipment pairing in a more compact space in comparison to other styles of gears. We offer up to a maximum ratio of 100:1 with our products. Another advantage of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings is the low level sound they produce. Some disadvantages will be the general low performance and the actual fact that they generate high temperature.
Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Chilly rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been attained by function hardening when the cold rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms due to truth that the metallic fibrous framework has not been cut.
2) The top hardness after cold rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times in comparison to the hardness of the original material, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Chilly rolled worms are ideal for miniature gear applications since this can be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels made out of POM or various other soft materials.
4) Due to the implementation of this cold rolling method, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes away with a mirror like finish. Thus, EP-Precision Frosty Rolled Worms provide a smooth operation and long-term durability.
Worm gears are constructed of a worm and a gear (sometimes known as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to one another. The worm is certainly analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear is definitely analogous to a spur gear. The worm is typically the traveling component, with the worm’s thread advancing one’s teeth of the gear.
Such as a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear might have a single start or multiple starts – meaning that there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full change (360 degrees) of the worm increases the gear by one tooth. Therefore a gear with 24 teeth will provide a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the gear reduction equals the amount of teeth on the gear, divided by the amount of begins on the worm. (This is different from most other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is a function of the diameters of both 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 action causes friction and high temperature, which limits the performance of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, heat), the worm and gear are made of dissimilar metals – for instance, the worm could be made of hardened metal and the gear manufactured from bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The utilization of dissimilar metals for the worm and equipment also contributes to quiet operation.) This makes worm gears suitable for use where sound should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the use of a softer material for the gear means that it can absorb shock loads, like those experienced in weighty equipment or crushing devices.
The primary benefit of worm gears is their capability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be used as quickness reducers in low- to medium-acceleration applications. And, because their decrease ratio is based on the number of gear teeth by itself, they are more compact than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, making them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide a highly effective answer for power transmission applications requiring high-ratio acceleration reduction in a restricted space using correct angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.
Because the efficiency of a worm gear drive depends on the lead angle and amount of begins on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always a goal, the ratio should be kept only possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.

How exactly to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear production process can be relatively simple. However, there exists a low transmission effectiveness problem in the event that you don’t understand the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic point to choose high worm equipment efficiency that you ought to know:
1) Helix angle. The worm gear drive efficiency mostly rely on the helix position of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears can be more efficient than single thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase effectiveness.
2) Lubrication. To select a brand lubricating oil can be an essential factor to improve worm gearbox effectiveness. As the correct lubrication can reduce worm equipment action friction and high temperature.
3) Materials selection and Gear Manufacturing Technology. For worm shaft, the material should be hardened metal. The worm gear material should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm equipment hardness, the friction on the worm tooth is decreased. In worm production, to use the specialized machine for gear trimming and tooth grinding of worms also can increase worm gearbox effectiveness.
From a large transmission gearbox capacity to an even small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from an array of worm reducer that precisely fits your application requirements.
Worm Gear Box Assembly：
1) You may complete the set up in six various ways.
2) The installation must be solid and reliable.
3) Make sure to check the connection between the motor and the worm equipment reducer.
4) You must make use of flexible cables and wiring for a manual set up.
By using the most advanced science and drive technology, we’ve developed several unique “square box” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a beautiful appearance. The modular worm gearbox design series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, right angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is definitely a standard worm gearbox with a bronze worm equipment and a worm. Our Helical gearbox product line comprises of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less speed variation UDL series. Their structure and function are similar to an NMRV worm gearbox.
In the EP worm gears, the output shaft is offset by 90° from the drive shaft. A double shaft for double-sided output or a cover for the brief shaft end are optionally available as accessories. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant based on polyethylene glycol, and are as a result maintenancefree. They are seen as a high efficiency and self-locking.
Please note:
Because of their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears are not ideal for positioning applications.
Worm Gear applications
App of worm gears, which is similar to a standard spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical gear that resembles a screw, allows for smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, while retaining torque or power. It’s quite common for worm gears to have reductions of 20:1, and also up to 300:1 or greater.
Regular gearing includes the initial capability which various other gearing components do not have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, but the “gears” cannot maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.
What’s the real reason for this inability to rotate the gear-worm?
The angle isn’t deep enough on the worm, so when the gear attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep the zone stuck constantly in place.
