Stainless Steel Worm Gear for CNC Machinery

Stainless steel worm gears are widely used in various industries, such as electric machinery, metallurgical machinery, environmental protection machinery, electronic and electrical appliances, road construction machinery, chemical machinery, food machinery, light industrial machinery, mining machinery, transportation machinery, construction machinery, building materials machinery, cement machinery, rubber machinery, water conservancy machinery, and petroleum machinery. They are typically used in heavy-duty applications that require high precision and durability.

The worm gear is a type of mechanical gear that consists of a screw-like worm and a wheel-like gear called a worm wheel. The worm gear works by transmitting motion and power between two perpendicular shafts. The worm rotates around its axis and meshes with the teeth of the worm wheel, causing it to rotate as well.

Stainless steel worm gears can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, bronze, iron, aluminum alloy, copper, plastic, nylon, PA66, MC, PEER, MSM, POM, Derlin, and more. The gears are produced strictly following ANSI or DIN standard dimensions, ensuring high precision and compatibility with other components.

The worm gears are available in different sizes, with finished bore, pilot bore, or special request options. They can be heat-treated using methods such as quenching and tempering, carburizing and quenching, high-frequency hardening, and carbonitriding. Surface treatments such as carburizing and quenching, tempering, tooth surface high quenching hardening, and tempering can also be applied to improve their durability and resistance to wear and tear.

The machining process of stainless steel worm gears involves material preparation, normalizing, rough turning, quenching and tempering, semi-fine turning outer circle, rough turning spiral surface, fine turning (fine grinding) inner hole end face, keyway, semi-fine turning spiral surface, pliers (rest incomplete teeth), semi-fine grinding outer circle, semi-fine grinding spiral surface, grinding center hole, delicate grinding outer ring, fine scratching helical surface, and finished product inspection.

How to Install, Maintain, and Repair

To install the stainless steel worm gear, make sure to align the shafts properly before tightening the set screws. Regular maintenance is required to ensure the gear operates smoothly and to prevent premature wear and tear. The gear should be lubricated periodically using a high-quality lubricant. If damage occurs, the gear can be repaired by replacing the damaged components or by reshaping the teeth using a gear hobbing machine.
