Mechanical drives take supplied torque and may increase or reduce that torque based on application. Also swiftness is increased or reduced in proportion index G – GEAR BOXES – on blue – smallto the speed reduction ratio. Ever-Power includes a full type of gearboxes and speed reducers, and the parts needed to build them, in an array of regular ratios and shaft choices and also custom designs.
Helical, bevel, and miter gear boxes offer the options of speed reducers or quickness increasers, and may be powered in either path. All Ever-Power worm equipment speed reducers and right angle drives are produced for powerful in a large spectral range of applications. Typically worm equipment boxes are not used as quickness increasers. The instances are molded glass-filled materials making them extremely durable and resistant to corrosive environments. They are offered in an array of ratios and are equipped with right hand or left hands worm gears. The output shafts may be solid or hollow, and load capacity is unaffected by direction and rotation.
Worm gear swiftness reducers are made up of a screw (the worm) that drives a wheel (helical gear) or single enveloping wheel and so are found in mechanical applications ranging from conveyors to physical exercise devices to robots.
Geneva mechanisms and assemblies are typically used to transform continuous rotary movement into intermittent rotary movement. The rotating drive wheel has a pin that reaches into a slot of the powered wheel advancing it by one step and a blocking disc that locks the driven wheel constantly in place between steps.
Compact design
Compact design is one of the key terms of the typical gearboxes of the BJ-Series. Further optimisation may be accomplished through the use of adapted gearboxes or particular gearboxes.
Low noise
Our worm gearboxes and actuators are extremely quiet. This is because of the very smooth operating of the worm equipment combined with the use of cast iron and high precision on element manufacturing and assembly. In connection with our precision gearboxes, we consider extra care of any sound that can be interpreted as a murmur from the apparatus. Therefore the general noise degree of our gearbox is reduced to an absolute minimum.
Angle gearboxes
On the worm gearbox the input shaft and output shaft are perpendicular to each other. This often proves to be a decisive advantage making the incorporation of the gearbox significantly simpler and 
more compact.The worm gearbox can be an angle gear. This is an edge for incorporation into constructions.
Strong bearings in solid housing
The output shaft of the BJ worm gearbox is very firmly embedded in the gear house and is ideal for immediate suspension for wheels, movable arms and other areas rather than needing to create a separate suspension.
Self locking
For larger gear ratios,EP-Gear’s worm gearboxes will provide a self-locking impact, which in many situations can be used as brake or as extra protection. Also spindle gearboxes with a trapezoidal spindle are self-locking, making them well suited for a wide range of solutions.
Structural Features
The worm-gear reducer is made up of three main parts: housing, worm-gear and wheel.
The carcasses are made of GG-25 cast-iron, and so are available for all sorts of gear-reducer. This make sure they are perform effectively under stressed conditions, vibrations or any type of setback that cannot be avoided during the assembly
The worm-gear is made of hardened and quench-hardened steel, with ground- on teeth sides, and the crowns manufactured from DIN (GZ-CuSn 12 Ni2) centricast bronze, melted on steel. Due to the mechanical work of these two parts having high quality, excellent efficiency and low sound amounts have been achived.
The output shaft is hollow, although it can be done to adapt a good shaft.
The oil seals manufactured from NITRILE BUTADIENE, according to DIN 3760, top quality bearings, an EPOXY- impregnated finish ( 2 components), and grey-coloured SINGLE LAYER ENAMEL finish ( 2 components) ( RAL 7672), provide the most competitive gear reducer available.
Size 63
In the size 62 of the MF series, worm-gear reducers, the output hollow shaft of diameter 30 has been included, that substitutes to the output hollow shaft with diameter 25, from size 62. This variant offers like reference size 63 and exists like answer to the request of our costumers since, upon mounting better bearings in the result, bears higher axial loads that its analogous one in the MF-62 series. The others of technical feature are identical to the its analogous in the size 62.
Assembly Position
In order to create a gear reducer and to make it happen efficiently, the next instructions must be considered:
It should be fixed on a flat surface to avoid either vibrations or tensions.
If undistributed loads or continued start-ups are foreseen, it is recommended to insert compensating couplings, connectors, torque limiters etc…
If the gear reducer had to be painted, the oil seals should be covered to avoid them from drying and losing their seal.
The device work of the fittings setup in the output shafts need an ISO H7 or h6 margin for the hollow shaft.
Backdriving
It is wise to pay attention to this aspect when the gear reducer result shaft is driven rather than being a driver. Bearing in mind that among the top features of this worm-equipment reducer is the fact that can’t be axle-driven by the output shaft (irreversibility), it really is almost unattainable to meet total irreversibility conditions, because of external factors such as for example vibrations, etc. This is why, when the application needs total irreversibility, it is advisable to utilize exterior brakes with enough capacity to avoid slipping.
It may be said that the conditions under which irreversibility can occur are the following:
• Efficiency < 0,55 (see table of specialized features).
Maintenance
This kind of gear reducer will get a permanent lubrication, so that it really does not need any type of maintenance.
Lubrication
The lubrication of this gear reducer type is continuous and comes as standard, with top quality refined oil which has antirust and antiwear products with Fe, Cu and alloy protectors that has quality level CLP DIN 51517-3, FGZ level 12, AP GL-4, US 224, AGMA 250-04; because of this its maintenance is not needed.
High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large velocity decrease ratios with only 1 equipment pairing in a far more compact space in comparison to other types of gears. You can expect up to maximum ratio of 100:1 with our products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel equipment pairings may be the low level sound they produce. Some drawbacks will be the general low efficiency and the actual fact that they generate heat.
Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface area has been attained by function hardening when the cool rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous framework is not cut.
2) The top hardness after cool rolling is increased by 1.2 to 1 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the original materials, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Frosty rolled worms are suitable for miniature equipment applications since this can be rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels crafted from POM or various other soft materials.
4) Because of the implementation of the cold rolling technique, the helicoid surface of EP-Worm (M0.5 to 2.0) comes out with a mirror like finish. Thus, EP-Precision Chilly Rolled Worms provide a smooth operation and long-term durability.
Worm gears are made of a worm and a gear (sometimes referred to as a worm wheel), with non-parallel, nonintersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to one another. The worm is analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear is analogous to a spur gear. The worm is normally the generating component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.
Like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear may have a single start or multiple starts – and therefore there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each full convert (360 degrees) of the worm increases the equipment by one tooth. So a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduced amount of 24:1. For a multi-begin worm, the apparatus reduction equals the number of teeth on the apparatus, divided by the number of begins on the worm. (That is different from most other types of gears, where in fact the gear reduction is usually a function of the diameters of the two components.)
The meshing of the worm and the apparatus is a mixture of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding action causes friction and heat, which limits the efficiency of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, heat), the worm and equipment are constructed with dissimilar metals – for example, the worm could be made of hardened metal and the apparatus made of bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides very quiet operation. (The usage of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also contributes to quiet procedure.) This makes worm gears suitable for use where sound should be minimized, such as for example in elevators. Furthermore, the use of a softer materials for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those skilled in large equipment or crushing devices.
The primary advantage of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They may also be used as rate reducers in low- to moderate-swiftness applications. And, because their decrease ratio is based on the number of gear teeth only, they are more compact than other types of gears. Like fine-pitch lead screws, worm gears are usually self-locking, which makes them well suited for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide a highly effective answer for power transmitting applications requiring high-ratio velocity reduction in a limited space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears supply the smoothest, quietest kind of gearing.
Because the effectiveness of a worm gear drive depends on the business lead angle and number of starts on the worm – and because increased effectiveness is always an objective, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears utilized together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
