Worm Thread Data
Here are the dimensions for worm gears based on DIN 780 specifications and a technical drawing for our worm gears and worm wheels as an example:
Worm Gears
We manufacture your individual worm gear based on your drawing or sample. Worm gears transfer large forces, for example on roller drives or steering shafts. We manufacture single-start or multi-start worm gears with metric dimensions or based on imperial diametrical pitch (inches), with profiles from module one to module ten. Larger modules are also available on request. You will receive the item you ordered either as a finished profile or as a pre-whirled profile for later grinding.
Worm gears at work
Worm gears are needed whenever two axles cross at an angle of less than 90°. They are used to transfer the rotary motion from the axle to the worm wheel. It is important that the cogs of both components interlock without slippage. Worm gears run silently and are capable of transferring a large torque. Screw rolling gears and worm gears are mainly used in:
- Presses as power gears
- Roller drives
- Steering systems in conveyor technology
- Mining machinery
- As duplex worm gears in milling heads and rotary tables.
