Abstract: Worm gear and worm drive mechanism is widely used in mechanical drive. In traditional design, the valuation trial method is generally used, and then the design scheme is checked to verify ...

QTC Metric Gears has expanded its portfolio of stock metric gearing solutions to better support industrial automation and other demanding applications. The enhanced product lineup is now available ...

The exact adjustment, which you compute with gear_dist(), is a complex calculation that depends on the profile shifts of both meshing gears. This means that profile shifting can also be used to fine ...

To blunt the toxic arsenic in the waters where it lives, a deep-sea worm combines it with another chemical to produce a less toxic compound. By Jack Tamisiea Arsenic is a toxic metal, and exposure to ...

The play between gears - known as backlash - is a well-known problem in mechanical drives. It occurs because a small gap must remain between the tooth flanks to prevent the gears from jamming. In many ...

NORD has increased the maximum torques of its UNICASE worm gear units. The NORD development team thus achieved increased performance of 10 to 15 percent – without changing the gear units’ outer ...

When high torque, a tight design, and always-reliable gear motors are required, worm gear motors rise to the top. Such systems are effective in many cases, such as a worm gear motor for robotics and a ...
