This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that want extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-generating the gearmotor so a posture can be kept even when power is not applied. The precision surface 3/8” stainless steel output shaft is backed by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to aid a load from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and light weight aluminum structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is definitely easily mounted to any flat work surface by utilizing the bottom mounting tabs. Our Regular Spur Gear motors will work with this gearbox (electric motor offered separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is ideal for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-velocity applications that require high precision and torque.

Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Cool rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been achieved by function hardening when the chilly rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous framework is not cut.
2) The top hardness after cold rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times in comparison to the hardness of the initial materials, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Chilly rolled worms are suitable for miniature gear applications since this is often rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or other soft materials.
4) Due to the implementation of the cold rolling method, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes out with a mirror like finish. Thus, EP-Precision Chilly Rolled Worms provide a smooth procedure and long term durability.
Worm gears are made of a worm and a equipment (sometimes referred to as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to each other. The worm is usually analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the apparatus is definitely analogous to a spur gear. The worm is typically the generating component, with the worm’s thread advancing one’s teeth of the gear.
Just like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear might have an individual start or multiple starts – meaning that there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each complete change (360 degrees) of the worm increases the gear by one tooth. Therefore a gear with 24 teeth will provide a gear reduction of 24:1. For a multi-start worm, the apparatus reduction equals the number of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (That is different from almost every other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is usually a function of the diameters of both components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding actions causes friction and warmth, which limits the efficiency of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, warmth), the worm and equipment are constructed with dissimilar metals – for example, the worm could be made of hardened metal and the gear made of bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The utilization of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also contributes to quiet procedure.) This makes worm gears ideal for use where noise should be minimized, such as in elevators. Furthermore, the utilization of a softer material for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those experienced in large equipment or crushing devices.
The primary advantage of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be utilized as rate reducers in low- to medium-acceleration applications. And, because their decrease ratio is founded on the amount of gear teeth alone, they are more compact than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, making them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide a highly effective answer for power transmission applications requiring high-ratio acceleration reduction in a restricted space using correct angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears supply the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.
Because the efficiency of a worm equipment drive depends upon the lead angle and number of starts on the worm – and because increased effectiveness is always an objective, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears utilized together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
Our complete type of worms and worm gears can be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Time Shipment Program for the fastest delivery possible.

How to Select High Efficient Worm Gearbox?
The worm gear production process can be relatively simple. Nevertheless, there exists a low transmission efficiency problem if you don’t know the how to choose the worm gearbox. 3 basic indicate choose high worm equipment efficiency that you should know:
1) Helix position. The worm equipment drive efficiency mostly rely on the helix angle of the worm. Generally, multiple thread worms and gears is certainly more efficient than solitary thread worms. Proper thread worms can increase efficiency.
2) Lubrication. To select a brand lubricating oil can be an essential factor to boost worm gearbox effectiveness. As the correct lubrication can reduce 
worm equipment action friction and heat.
3) Materials selection and Gear Production Technology. For worm shaft, the material ought to be hardened steel. The worm gear materials should be aluminium bronze. By reducing the worm equipment hardness, the friction on the worm teeth is reduced. In worm manufacturing, to use the specific machine for gear slicing and tooth grinding of worms can also increase worm gearbox efficiency.
From a big transmission gearbox capacity to a straight small worm gearbox load, you can choose one from a wide variety of worm reducer that precisely fits your application requirements.
Worm Gear Package Assembly：
1) You may complete the installation in six various ways.
2) The installation must be solid and reliable.
3) Make sure to verify the connection between the motor and the worm gear reducer.
4) You must use flexible cables and wiring for a manual set up.
By using the innovative science and drive technology, we have developed several unique “square container” designed from high-quality aluminium die casting with a lovely appearance. The modular worm gearbox style series: worm drive gearbox, parallel shaft gearbox, bevel helical gearbox, spiral bevel gearbox, coaxial gearbox, right angle gearbox. An NMRV series gearbox is a typical worm gearbox with a bronze worm gear and a worm. Our Helical gearbox products consists of four universal series (R/S/K/F) and a step-less velocity variation UDL series. Their framework and function act like an NMRV worm gearbox.
In the EP worm gears, the output shaft is offset by 90° from the drive shaft. A double shaft for double-sided result or a cover for the short shaft end are optionally available as add-ons. EP gearboxes have a high-quality, long-term synthetic lubricant on the basis of polyethylene glycol, and so are as a result maintenancefree. They are characterized by high effectiveness and self-locking.
Please note:
Because of their relatively high backlash (~1-2°), worm gears are not ideal for positioning applications.
Worm Gear applications
Application of worm gears, which is comparable to a typical spur and the worm, which is a cylindrical equipment that resembles a screw, allows for smaller gearboxes or planetary drives, whilst retaining torque or power. It is common for worm gears to have reductions of 20:1, and also up to 300:1 or greater.
Typical gearing includes the initial capability which additional gearing components do not have – the “worm” can effortlessly spin the part, however the “gears” cannot maneuver and fully rotate the worm-zone.
What’s the reason behind this inability to rotate the gear-worm?
The angle isn’t deep enough on the worm, so when the gear attempts to rotate the worm, high frictional pressure between worm shaft and gear parts keep carefully the zone stuck in position.
