Features
- Shell made of fine FG-260 grade C.I
- Designed with well-engineered cooling fins and suitable fan for efficient heat dissipation
- Precision grade A based on BS 721:1963
- Designed to be interchangeable with standard gearboxes
- Worm shaft made of high-quality surface-hardened steel, precisely generated and ground for better performance
- Worm wheel made of extremely high-quality phosphor bronze, sandwich casting/spinning, with a large cross-sectional area (combined with hub rigidity)
- Worm shaft and worm wheel shaft mounted on high-quality taper roller/angular contact bearings to withstand axial thrust and hanging loads
- Under the temperature limit of 90??C, the lowest gear life of all gearboxes under full load is 20,000 hours. No maintenance is required for the gearbox, just check the oil level every two weeks
- All worm gearboxes have a transmission ratio of 5:1 to 70:1

Structure
Worm reducer is composed of the following parts:
- Worm shaft
- Worm wheel
- Worm gear housing
- Bearing
- Oil seal ring
- Input shaft
- Output shaft
- Oil cup
Each part plays an important role in the working process of worm reducer. Worm shaft transmits power to worm wheel, and the housing provides support to the worm shaft and worm wheel. The bearing helps the worm shaft and worm wheel to rotate smoothly while oil seal ring prevents oil leakage. Input and output shafts connect the worm reducer to the motor and transmission device. Oil cup is used to add lubricating oil.

Selection of Appropriate Worm Gearbox
The selection of a gearbox is completed by comparing the actual transmission load with the catalog rated value. However, actual load conditions may vary or fluctuate depending on the type of application, and in order to deal with the same problem, it is necessary to consider the use coefficient to achieve equivalent load or design power. Therefore, equivalent load = actual load x service factor mechanical rated value and service factor mechanical rated value to measure capacity in terms of life and/or strength, assuming continuous operation for 10 hours per day under uniform load conditions. If the equipment runs more than 10 hours a day, it is necessary to select the mechanical service factor according to the type of the original motor, the number of hours of operation per day, the type of application connected to the equipment, and its load characteristics to ensure the appropriate gear life. The catalog rated value of the selected equipment should be at least equal to or greater than half of the maximum overload reached during its operation. By comparing the actual transmission load with the catalog rated value, the service life of the gearbox can be determined. The following steps are taken to select the appropriate gearbox:
- Calculate the required ratio;
- Calculate the design power based on load type, operating time, and service factor;
- Calculate the output torque;
- Select the device based on the data.

Common Problems with Worm Reducer
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Overheating | 1. Loss of oil or insufficient oil | 1. Replenish or replace the oil |
| 2. High ambient temperature | 2. Reduce the ambient temperature | |
| Noise | 1. Poor meshing of gears | 1. Adjust the meshing of gears |
| 2. Worn gears | 2. Replace the worn gears | |
| Vibration | 1. Improper installation | 1. Reinstall correctly |
| 2. Uneven load distribution | 2. Adjust the load distribution | |
| Oil Leakage | 1. Damaged oil seal ring | 1. Replace the damaged oil seal ring |
| 2. Overfilled oil | 2. Drain the excess oil | |
| Not Working | 1. Motor failure | 1. Replace the motor |
| 2. Gear failure | 2. Replace the gear |

Installation Precautions
The gearbox should be firmly installed to minimize the impact of vibration or overload. Be sure to check if it is aligned and use dowel pins to properly position the gears, preferably in diagonal directions. The use of flexible couplings (gear couplings with rubber liners/flange/tire couplings) is very important for improving the performance of the gearbox. The couplings should be aligned to avoid angular and eccentric misalignment.

Motors for Worm Gear Reducers
Worm gear reducers and electric motors are closely related and are essential components in many industrial applications. Worm gear reducers are designed to reduce the speed of the motor and increase torque output. Electric motors provide the power needed to drive the worm gear reducer. Our company also provides a wide range of electric motors for sale to meet customer needs.
