Worm Gears

Worm gears are an integral component of various machines and mechanical systems. Worm gears are used to transmit rotational motion from one shaft to another, usually at a 90-degree angle. They are characterized by a screw-like helical shape and provide high torque transmission with low-speed reduction. Worm gears are also capable of reversing direction, which makes them ideal for applications such as conveyor systems. They are available in various sizes and materials, and can be used in a variety of applications, such as automotive and industrial machinery, robotics, printing presses, and food processing. 

Additionally, worm gears can transmit power between non-parallel axes, making them a versatile and reliable component. This makes them a popular choice for many applications, as they provide a high level of efficiency with low noise levels. Worm gears are also known for their long service life and robust construction, making them a reliable choice for many applications.
