As a reducer type, worm gear reducer is consisted of gears in single step. According to its operating principle, there is a gear operating system basing on friction. While there is worm gear reducer made of steel, there is another type of worm gear reducer designed with reciprocative gears. Its body is made of nodular cast iron, grey cast iron and steel. Quiet operation is among its important characteristics. It has an impact-resistant structure.

Operating Principle of Worm Gear Reducer

It is used in the operations which require high speed and torque balance. In the worm gear reducers, the axes do not coincide in the gears. Apart from being quiet, it is also preferred because there is no vibration and capability of operating at high speed. It is an advantageous reducer and if it is less than 50 when looked at its angle of pitch, the gears lock themselves. If the rotary motions are transferred from gear instead of screw, screw does not rotate reverse. And it means self-braking. Preferred in the reducer boxes, the worm gears reduce high speed at the highest level. And it is a correct selection for application in all machines which require high speed.
