Ep Gear’s worm gears use appropriate-angle (90°) non-intersecting shafts to offer an productive resolution for power transmission applications demanding higher reduction ratios in confined spaces. When correctly used, worm gears offer the smoothest and quietest type of transmission. Because the performance of a worm generate depends on the guide angle and the quantity of stars on the worm – since performance is often the purpose, this ratio need to be stored as low as possible. To work appropriately, the worm and worm equipment used together must have the same diameter, pitch and thread.
