Worm Gear Reducers generally known as worm gearbox or worm swiftness reducers. Worm equipment reducers are being used for speed lowering and raising the torque for electronic electric motor drives. You can decide to install your NEMA motor to the reducer by using the NEMA C encounter flange or employ a coupling. If you desire a coupling for the output or input shaft observe our coupling section for selecting a coupling. You can expect four assemblies left hands and right hand and double result shaft and shaft source and shaft output. Interchangeable with the majority of worm equipment 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 products called GEAR GAGES! Gear Gages lessen mistakes, save time and money when identifying and buying gears. These pitch templates can be purchased in nine sets to identify 
all the typical pitch sizes: Diametral Pitch “DP”, Circular Pitch “CP”, External Involute Splines, Metric Module “MOD”, Stub Tooth, Fine Pitches, Coarse Pitches and Unusual Pitches. Make reference to the section on GEAR GAGES for catalog figures 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 even more economically with cast iron worm gears at 50% horsepower ratings. In addition to metal and hardenedsteel, worms can be purchased in stainless, light weight aluminum, bronze and nylon; worm gears can be found in steel, hardened metal, stainless, aluminum, nylon and non-metallic (phenolic).
Safeness PROVISION: Worm gearing shouldn’t be used because a locking mechanism to hold weighty weights where reversing action could cause harm or harm. In applications where potential injury is non-existent and self-locking is desired against backward rotation then use of an individual thread worm with a low helix angle automatically locks the worm gear travel against backward rotation.
