Ep Gear’s worm gears use right-angle (90°) non-intersecting shafts to offer an successful remedy for energy transmission applications necessitating higher reduction ratios in confined areas. When appropriately used, worm gears give the smoothest and quietest form of transmission. Given that the performance of a worm drive depends on the direct angle and the amount of stars on the worm – because efficiency is often the aim, this ratio should be kept as low as feasible. To operate effectively, the worm and worm gear utilised jointly have to have the very same diameter, pitch and thread.
