Double Threaded Worm Gear: The Best Choice for High Drive Reduction

Double threaded worm gears are ideal when high drive reduction is required. These gears are similar to spur gears with the addition of a throat cut into the O.D. of the wheel. The throat allows the worm wheel to fully envelop the threads of the worm. Threads, not teeth, are cut on the worm, and by adjusting the number of threads, different ratios can be achieved without altering mounting arrangements. A unique feature of worm and wheel assemblies is their ability to prohibit back driving.

Common Use Scenarios

Double threaded worm gears are commonly used in a variety of industries, including power transmission, automotive, and aerospace. They are ideal for applications that require high reduction ratios and precise positioning, such as conveyor systems, elevators, and packaging machinery.

Advantages of Double Threaded Worm Gears

- High reduction ratios
- Precise positioning
- Prohibit back driving
- Quiet operation
- Easy installation

Materials

Double threaded worm gears are typically made from brass for the worm gear and stainless steel for the worm. However, other materials such as bronze, cast iron, and aluminum can also be used depending on the application.

Installation, Maintenance, and Repair

Proper installation is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of double threaded worm gears. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation, lubrication, and maintenance. In case of repair, it is important to identify the cause of the failure before attempting any repairs. If the gear is damaged beyond repair, it is important to replace it with a new one.
