Worm Equipment Reducers also referred to as worm gearbox or perhaps worm velocity reducers. Worm equipment reducers are used for speed lowering and raising the torque for electronic electric motor drives. You can choose to install your NEMA engine to the reducer by using the NEMA C facial area flange or work with a coupling. In the event that you desire a coupling for the outcome or input shaft see our coupling section for selecting a coupling. You can expect four assemblies left side and right palm and double end result shaft and shaft source and shaft result. Interchangeable with the majority of worm equipment manufactures. See info sheet in product review for diamensions. Unless you see your type, you should Contact Us.
EP GEARS also markets gear tooth measuring units called Equipment GAGES! Gear Gages reduce mistakes, save time and money when identifying and purchasing gears. These pitch templates can be found in nine sets to recognize all the standard pitch sizes: Diametral Pitch “DP”, Circular Pitch “CP”, External Involute Splines, Metric Module “MOD”, Stub Tooth, Good Pitches, Coarse Pitches and Uncommon Pitches. Refer to the section on GEAR GAGES for catalog figures when ordering.
MATERIAL recommended for worms is certainly hardened steel and bronze for worm gears. Nevertheless, depending on the application form unhardened steel worms operate adequately and even more economically with cast iron worm gears at 50% horsepower ratings. In addition to steel and hardenedsteel, worms can be found in stainless, aluminium, bronze and nylon; worm gears can be purchased in steel, hardened metal, stainless, metal, nylon and nonmetallic (phenolic).
Safe practices PROVISION: Worm gearing should not be used seeing that a locking mechanism to carry large weights where reversing actions can cause harm or damage. In applications where potential 
injury is nonexistent and self-locking is wanted against backward rotation then use of a single thread worm with a minimal helix angle immediately locks the worm gear travel against backward rotation.
