Worm and Worm Gears sets the transfer movement between non-intersecting straight-angle axes. They are the smallest compact precision gear system available, as well as quieter and smoother operation. A worm gear and worm gears can provide a high reduction ratio in a very small space.
USA has been manufacturing worms and wheel gear systems for over 30 years. We offer worm and worm sets in a variety of inch sizes and metrics and with numerous pitch, tooth and hub options. Our stainless steel endless worm and endless bronze phosphor wheels and gears provide the best precision, the smoothest operation and the longest service life.
Boston Gear worm gears and worm gears provide an effective response for power transmission applications that require high ratio speed reduction in a limited space using non-intersecting (90 °) right-angle shafts. When properly applied, worm gears and helical gears provide the smoothest and quietest form of gears.
Because the efficiency of a worm gear gear depends on the angle of advance and the number of starts in the worm, and because increased efficiency is always a target, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. In order to function properly, worm gears and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
