From Prototype Worm Pair to Repeat Production

Engineering note: A sample validates more than shape. It can reveal whether the selected geometry, material pairing, backlash, mounting interface and manufacturing route fit the real assembly.Selection media for the relevant worm or wheel family. Final production...

Wear Inspection on Small Worm and Wheel Teeth

Engineering note: Wear should be judged as a mesh condition, not only by looking at one component. Tooth polishing, pitting, scoring, material transfer, plastic deformation and uneven contact can point to different causes.Selection media for the relevant worm or wheel...

Lubrication Basics for Micro Worm Gears

Engineering note: Sliding contact makes lubrication an important part of most worm gear applications. The correct lubricant must be compatible with both materials and the operating environment.Selection media for the relevant worm or wheel family. Final production...
