Our complete line of worms and worm gears can be ordered through the EP Equipment Guaranteed Same Time Shipment System for the fastest delivery possible.
Product Features
90°, non-intersecting shaft applications answer highly specialized power transmission needs.
Our worm gears offer the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.
They provide high-ratio speed reduction in minimal spaces.
Their efficiency is easily increased by decreasing ratios.
With some ratios, there is resistance to back driving.
Available from 48 DP to 3 DP
Stocked as single, double and quad start configurations
Because the effectiveness of a worm gear drive depends on the business lead angle and quantity of starts on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always an objective, the 
ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears used together will need to have the same diametral pitch and threads.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power tranny applications requiring high-ratio acceleration reduction in a limited space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.
The primary advantage of worm gears is their capability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be utilized as swiftness reducers in low- to moderate-velocity applications. And, because their decrease ratio is based on the number of gear teeth alone, they are more compact than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, which makes them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
