Ep Gear’s worm gears use correct-angle (90°) non-intersecting shafts to offer an efficient remedy for electrical power transmission applications requiring high reduction ratios in confined spaces. When properly applied, worm gears offer the smoothest and quietest kind of transmission. Since the performance of a worm drive is dependent on the guide angle and the variety of stars on the worm – considering that performance is constantly the purpose, this ratio need to be kept as minimal as achievable. To work correctly, the worm and worm equipment utilised collectively need to have the same diameter, pitch and thread.
