This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that require extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-generating the gearmotor so a position can be kept even when power is not applied. The precision floor 3/8” stainless steel result shaft is backed by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support lots from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminium structure offers a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is easily installed to any flat surface by utilizing the bottom mounting tabs. Our Standard Spur Gear motors will continue to work with this gearbox (engine marketed separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is ideal for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-velocity applications that require high precision and torque.

Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Chilly rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface has been achieved by work hardening when the chilly rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous structure is not cut.
2) The surface hardness after chilly rolling is increased by 1.2 to 1 1.3 times in comparison to the hardness of the original materials, and the hardness of the helicoid surface area increases 
to around HB240 to 260.
3) Cool rolled worms are suitable for miniature equipment applications since this is often rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels made out of POM or additional soft materials.
4) Because of the implementation of this cold rolling method, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes out with a mirror like complete. Thus, EP-Precision Frosty 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 nonparallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to each other. The worm is usually analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the apparatus can be analogous to a spur gear. The worm is normally the generating component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.
Like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have an individual start or multiple starts – and therefore there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each complete turn (360 degrees) of the worm advances the equipment by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduction of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the apparatus reduction equals the number of teeth on the gear, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (That is different from almost every other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is certainly a function of the diameters of both components.)
The meshing of the worm and the gear is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding action causes friction and temperature, which limits the effectiveness of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, high temperature), the worm and equipment are made of dissimilar metals – for instance, the worm may be made of hardened metal and the gear manufactured from bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact decreases efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The usage of dissimilar metals for the worm and equipment also plays a part in quiet operation.) This makes worm gears ideal for use where sound 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 experienced in large equipment or crushing machines.
The primary advantage of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be utilized as acceleration reducers in low- to medium-speed applications. And, because their decrease ratio is based on the amount of gear teeth alone, they are more compact than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are usually self-locking, making them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power tranny applications requiring high-ratio swiftness reduction in a restricted space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.
Because the effectiveness of a worm gear drive depends upon the lead angle and number of starts on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always an objective, the ratio ought to be kept only possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears utilized together will need to have the same diametral pitch and threads.

How exactly to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear production process is also relatively simple. Nevertheless, there exists a low transmission efficiency problem if you don’t know the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic indicate choose high worm gear efficiency that you ought to know:
1) Helix angle. The worm equipment drive efficiency mostly depend on the helix angle of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears is more efficient than solitary thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase effectiveness.
2) Lubrication. To choose a brand lubricating essential oil can be an essential factor to improve worm gearbox effectiveness. As the proper lubrication can decrease worm gear action friction and high temperature.
3) Material selection and Gear Production Technology. For worm shaft, the material should be hardened metal. The worm gear materials ought to be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm equipment hardness, the friction on the worm teeth is reduced. In worm manufacturing, to use the specialized machine for gear trimming and tooth grinding of worms can also increase worm gearbox efficiency.
From a large transmission gearbox capacity to a straight small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from a wide selection of worm reducer that precisely fits your application requirements.
Worm Gear Package Assembly：
1) You can complete the installation in six various ways.
2) The installation must be solid and reliable.
3) Ensure that you examine the connection between the motor and the worm equipment reducer.
4) You must use flexible cables and wiring for a manual installation.
By using the innovative science and drive worm wheel gearbox Technology, we have developed several unique “square package” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a lovely appearance. The modular worm gearbox style series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, right angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox can be a typical worm gearbox with a bronze worm gear and a worm. Our Helical gearbox products comprises of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less quickness variation UDL series. Their structure and function act like an NMRV worm gearbox.
In the EP worm gears, the output shaft is offset by 90° from the drive shaft. A double shaft for double-sided output or a cover for the short shaft end are elective as accessories. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant on the basis of polyethylene glycol, and so are for that reason maintenancefree. They are seen as a high performance and self-locking.
Please note:
Due to their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears aren’t ideal for positioning applications.
Worm Gear applications
Program of worm gears, which is comparable to a standard spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, permits smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, while retaining torque or power. It’s quite common for worm gears to have got reductions of 20:1, and even up to 300:1 or greater.
Usual gearing includes the initial capability which additional gearing components do not have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, but the “gears” are not able to maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.
What’s the reason behind this inability to rotate the gear-worm?
The angle is not deep enough on the worm, so when the gear attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep carefully the zone stuck in position.
