Worm Gear Reducers also referred to as worm gearbox or perhaps worm speed reducers. Worm gear reducers are used for speed decrease and raising the torque for electric power motor drives. You can decide to install your NEMA engine to the reducer by using the NEMA C confront flange or employ a coupling. If you need a coupling for the result or input shaft observe our coupling section for selecting a coupling. You can expect four assemblies left side and right hand and double end result shaft and shaft source and shaft productivity. Interchangeable with most worm gear manufactures. See data sheet in product overview for diamensions. Unless you see your type, you should E MAIL US.
EP GEARS also sells gear tooth measuring devices called Equipment GAGES! Gear Gages decrease mistakes, save money and time when identifying and purchasing gears. These pitch templates can be purchased in nine sets to recognize all the typical pitch sizes: Diametral Pitch “DP”, Circular Pitch “CP”, External Involute Splines, Metric Module “MOD”, Stub Tooth, Good Pitches, Coarse Pitches and Unusual Pitches. Make reference to the section on Equipment GAGES for catalog numbers when ordering.
Materials recommended for worms can be hardened steel and bronze for worm gears. Even so, depending on the application form unhardened metal worms operate adequately and more economically with cast iron worm gears at 50% horsepower ratings. Furthermore to metal and hardenedsteel, worms can be purchased in stainless, aluminum, bronze and nylon; worm gears are available in steel, hardened metal, stainless, metal, nylon and non-metallic (phenolic).
Security PROVISION: Worm gearing should not be used seeing that a locking mechanism to hold large weights where reversing action can cause harm or personal injury. In applications where potential injury is non-existent and 
self-locking is wanted against backward rotation in that case use of an individual thread worm with a low helix angle instantly locks the worm equipment drive against backward rotation.
