Worm Shaft And Worm Gear High Load-Bearing Capacity for Heavy-Duty Working Conditions

1)Description of Worm Gear Set

Worm gear is a mechanical component that uses the interaction force between meshing tooth surfaces to achieve force

and motion transfer, and is subjected to a variety of loads in the working process.

2)Advantages of Worm Gear Set

• High load-bearing capacity: reasonably designed worm gear can withstand large axial force, radial force and torque to meet the requirements of heavy-duty working conditions.
• Uniform distribution of force: the meshing of helical teeth makes the load distributed on multiple teeth, reduces the force on individual teeth, and improves the reliability of the transmission system.
• Stable mechanical performance: through mechanical calculation and optimised design, the mechanical performance of worm gear transmission system is stable under different working conditions and not easy to fail.

3)Working Principle of Worm Gear Set

When the worm gear rotates, its helical tooth surface pushes the worm gear tooth surface, and the force is transmitted through the tooth contact.

The direction and magnitude of the force varies according to the helical direction of the worm and the transmission ratio,

generating both axial and radial forces, which need to be borne by the corresponding bearings and support structures.

4)Application of Worm Gear Set

It is used for hydraulic pump drive of construction machinery, hoisting mechanism of port machinery, speed booster box of large wind turbine, etc.

It operates reliably in the working environment of high load and high torque.
