Worm Gear Components

Product Details

The lowest cost and shortest delivery schedules are normally achieved through the use of standard worm and gear sets. In addition to using standard shaft center distances, ratios, and bearing mounting parts, designs should include standard bores, flanges, and bolt circles where possible. Since the use of non-standard hubs is not uncommon to the worm gear industry, XLT provides for this by having a flanged rim design available for mounting on any adaptable center.

Our metric worm gears come in pairs with worm shafts or worms. They are made of stainless steel, steel, brass or plastic materials. Available in different sizes ranging from module 1 to module 5.

XLT manufactures worm gear sets, which are comprised of a worm and worm wheel, for use in a variety of industries including aerospace and military instrumentation, medical, dental, oil and gas exploration, robotics, optical and industrial controls. Our precision worm gear sets can be manufactured to meet the latest AGMA/ISO specifications up to the equivalent of AGMA Q14 per AGMA 390.03.
