Worm & Pinion Gears

Worm and pinion gears are essential components in mechanical systems, providing precise motion control and efficient torque transfer. These gears consist of a worm (a screw-like component) and a pinion (a gear) that work together to achieve high torque at low speeds. They are known for their smooth, quiet operation and the ability to reduce speed while increasing torque. Their unique design offers a self-locking mechanism, preventing the gear system from being backdriven, which adds a layer of safety in various applications. 

Where Can I Use Worm & Pinion Gears?

• Automotive Steering Systems
• Conveyors and Lifts
• Industrial Machinery
• Packaging and Assembly Lines

Working Principle

• The worm rotates, driving the pinion gear.
• Converts rotational motion into linear or other rotational motion.
• Ideal for transmitting torque at 90-degree angles.

Materials Used to Make Worm & Pinion Gears

• Typically made from hardened steel, bronze, or aluminium.
• Materials selected for durability, reduced friction, and corrosion resistance.
