Durable Worm Gears for High-Ratio Power Transmission

What Are Worm Gears?

Worm gears consist of a screw-like worm shaft meshing with a worm wheel, enabling large speed reductions in compact systems. Their unique geometry provides self-locking properties, making them ideal for safety-critical applications.

Key Advantages of Worm Gears

• High Reduction Ratios: Achieve large gear ratios in one stage.
• Self-Locking: Prevents reverse motion in lifting equipment.
• Smooth & Quiet: Continuous sliding contact minimizes noise.
• Compact Design: Ideal for tight installations.
• Shock Resistance: Absorbs sudden loads effectively.

(Comparison: Unlike spur or bevel gears, worm gears offer self-locking capability and higher reduction in a single stage.)
