Worm Gear Unit: High Quality and Efficient Power Transmission Solution

Worm gear units are widely used in various industrial applications due to their efficiency, compact size, and excellent load-carrying capacity. HZPT is a trusted name in the industry, offering high-quality worm gear units that deliver outstanding performance even under extreme conditions.

The History of Worm Gears:

Worm gears have been in use for centuries, and they are believed to have originated in ancient Greece and Egypt. Since then, worm gears have been used in various applications, from windmills to heavy machinery. Today, worm gear units are used in almost every industry that requires high torque and precision motion control.

Classification and Advantages of Worm Gear Units:

Worm gear units are classified based on the number of threads on the worm and the orientation of the worm shaft. The most common types are single thread and double thread worm gear units, with either right-hand or left-hand orientation. Worm gear units offer several advantages, including:

• High load-carrying capacity
• Efficient power transmission
• Quiet operation
• Compact size
• Easy installation and maintenance

Materials Used in Worm Gear Units:

HZPT places great importance on the quality of materials used in worm gear units to ensure a long service life and high performance. The housing parts are made of high-quality grey cast iron (EN-GJL-200), while the hollow bosses, from gear unit sizes greater than 100, are made of spheroidal graphite iron (EN-GJS-400-15). Worm shafts are made from 16MnCrS5BG, which is hardened and ground for increased wear resistance. The worm gear unit rims are centrifugally cast solid bronze with nickel additives GzCuSn12Ni, which provides outstanding smooth and emergency running properties.

Installation, Maintenance, and Repair:

Proper installation, maintenance, and repair of worm gear units are crucial to ensuring their optimal performance and long service life. When installing, make sure the shaft alignment is correct, and the lubrication is adequate. Routine maintenance includes checking for leaks, proper lubrication, and wear on gears and bearings. In case of repair, it is recommended to replace the worn-out components promptly to avoid further damage to the unit.
