Worm Gears

Developed for complex environments

Reliance Technology Worm Gears have been developed for spectroscopy and clean, low load motion control positioning systems. They are suitable for use in applications where finite movement is required in accurate actuation systems. Typical applications include spectrometers and monochromators used in the pharmaceutical, analytical, medical testing or drug development markets.

Reliance Technology Worm Gears provide high ratio right-angled motion in a small space envelope and have been designed to suit optimum mounting positions. Our worm shaft design enables the use of high stiffness bearing arrangements, reducing concentricity errors and increasing axial rigidity.

    Worm Wheels

    Our plain or anti-backlash worm wheels are available in pin hub or clamp hub style with standard modules of 0.4, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0. Anti-backlash worm wheels are available in modules 0.4 and 0.5. They can be specified with the following standard bore sizes: 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm. Worm gears with a 6.35 mm (½ inch) bore are available on request. The number of teeth is module dependent ranging from 18 – 274.

    Worms

    Worms are available with modules of 0.4, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0. Standard worm bores are available with bores 3 – 10 mm, with imperial bores available on request. Worm shafts have standard journal diameters of 5 or 10 mm. Worms can be cut with 1 – 4 starts to balance transmission ratio and efficiency in line with application demands.
