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 only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-traveling the gearmotor so a posture can be held even when power isn’t applied. The precision floor 3/8” stainless steel output shaft is supported by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support a load from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminum structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is definitely easily installed to any flat surface by utilizing the base mounting tabs. Our Regular Spur Gear motors will work with this gearbox (engine sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is ideal for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-velocity applications that want high precision and torque.

High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large velocity decrease ratios with only 1 equipment pairing in a far more compact space in comparison to other types of gears. We offer up to a maximum ratio of 100:1 with our products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings may be the low level sound they produce. Some drawbacks will be the general low efficiency and the actual fact that they generate heat.
Benefit of EP’s Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been attained by function hardening when the cool rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous framework is not cut.
2) The top hardness after chilly rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the original materials, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Cool rolled worms are suitable for miniature equipment applications since this can be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or various other soft materials.
4) Because of the implementation of the cold rolling technique, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes away with a mirror like finish. Thus, EP-Precision Chilly Rolled Worms provide a smooth procedure and long-term durability.
Worm gears are made of a worm and a gear (sometimes referred to as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to one another. The worm is analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear can be analogous to a spur gear. The worm is normally the traveling component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.
Such as a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have a single start or multiple starts – and therefore there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full convert (360 degrees) of the worm increases the equipment by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the gear reduction worm wheel gearbox equals the number of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (That is different from most other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is certainly a function of the diameters of the two components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding action causes friction and warmth, which limits the performance of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. In order to minimize friction (and for that reason, temperature), the worm and gear are made from dissimilar metals – for example, the worm may be made of hardened metal and the gear made of bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides extremely quiet operation. (The use of dissimilar metals for the worm and equipment also contributes to quiet procedure.) This makes worm gears suitable for use where noise should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. In addition, the use of a softer material for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those skilled in heavy 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 utilized as rate reducers in low- to medium-rate applications. And, because their reduction ratio is based on the amount of gear teeth by itself, they are smaller sized than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, which makes them perfect for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide a highly effective answer for power transmitting applications requiring high-ratio speed reduction in a restricted space using correct angle (90°), nonintersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.
Because the efficiency of a worm equipment drive depends upon the business lead angle and quantity of starts on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always an objective, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
Our complete line of worms and worm gears could be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Day time Shipment System for the quickest delivery possible.

How exactly to Select High Efficient 
Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear manufacturing process can be relatively simple. Nevertheless, there exists a low transmission performance problem if you don’t know the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic indicate choose high worm equipment efficiency that you should know:
1) Helix angle. The worm equipment drive efficiency mostly rely on the helix angle of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears is certainly more efficient than single thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase performance.
2) Lubrication. To choose a brand lubricating oil is an essential factor to improve worm gearbox effectiveness. As the proper lubrication can reduce worm gear action friction and high temperature.
3) Material selection and Gear Manufacturing Technology. For worm shaft, the material ought to be hardened steel. The worm gear material should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm equipment hardness, the friction on the worm teeth is decreased. In worm production, to use the specific machine for gear trimming and tooth grinding of worms can also increase worm gearbox effectiveness.
From a big transmission gearbox capacity to a straight small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from an array of worm reducer that precisely suits your application requirements.
Worm Gear Box Assembly：
1) You can complete the set up in six various ways.
2) The installation must be solid and reliable.
3) Ensure that you check the connection between your motor and the worm gear reducer.
4) You must make use of flexible cables and wiring for a manual installation.
With the help of the most advanced science and drive technology, we’ve developed several unique “square package” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a beautiful appearance. The modular worm gearbox style series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, correct angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is a typical worm gearbox with a bronze worm gear and a worm. Our Helical gearbox products consists of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less quickness variation UDL series. Their framework 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 dual shaft for double-sided output or a cover for the brief shaft end are optionally available as components. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant on the basis of polyethylene glycol, and are therefore maintenancefree. They are seen as a high performance and self-locking.
Please note:
Because of their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears aren’t ideal for positioning applications.
Worm Gear applications
Software of worm gears, which is similar to a standard spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, allows for smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, whilst retaining torque or power. It’s quite common for worm gears to have got reductions of 20:1, and actually up to 300:1 or greater.
Typical gearing includes the initial capability which other gearing components don’t have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, however 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 apparatus attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep carefully the zone stuck in position.
