| Boston Gear's
worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power
transmission applications requiring high-ratio speed reduction
in a limited space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting
shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears provide
the smoothest, quietest form of gearing.
Because the efficiency of a worm gear drive depends on
the lead angle and number of starts on the worm - and because
increased efficiency is always a goal, the ratio should
be kept as low as possible. To run properly, worms and
worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch
and threads.
Our complete line of worms and worm gears can be ordered
through the Boston Gear Guaranteed Same Day Shipment Program
for the fastest delivery possible.
