Mechanical drives take supplied torque and may increase or reduce that torque predicated on application. Also quickness is increased or decreased compared index G – Equipment BOXES – on blue – smallto the speed decrease ratio. Ever-Power has a full line of gearboxes and rate reducers, and the components had a need to build them, in an array of regular ratios and shaft choices as well as custom designs.
Helical, bevel, and miter gear boxes provide options of speed reducers or velocity increasers, and could be driven in either direction. All Ever-Power worm gear speed reducers and correct angle drives are produced for high performance in a large spectral range of applications. Typically worm equipment boxes are not used as swiftness increasers. The cases are molded glass-filled materials making them extremely rugged and resistant to corrosive conditions. They are offered in a wide variety of ratios and are equipped with right hands or left hand worm gears. The result shafts may be solid or hollow, and load capability is unaffected by path and rotation.
Worm gear acceleration reducers are made up of a screw (the worm) that drives a wheel (helical gear) or single enveloping wheel and are found in mechanical applications which range from conveyors to physical exercise devices to robots.
Geneva mechanisms and assemblies are typically used to transform continuous rotary motion into intermittent rotary movement. The rotating drive wheel includes a pin that reaches right into a slot of the powered wheel advancing it by one step and a blocking disc that locks the powered wheel in position between steps.
Compact design
Compact design is one of the key terms of the standard gearboxes of the BJ-Series. Further optimisation can be achieved by using adapted gearboxes or special gearboxes.
Low noise
Our worm gearboxes and actuators are extremely quiet. This is because of the very smooth running of the worm gear combined with the use of cast iron and high precision on component manufacturing and assembly. In connection with our precision gearboxes, we take extra treatment of any sound that can be interpreted as a murmur from the apparatus. Therefore the general noise level of our gearbox is usually reduced to a complete minimum.
Angle gearboxes
On the worm gearbox the input shaft and output shaft are perpendicular to each other. This often proves to become a decisive advantage producing the incorporation of the gearbox substantially simpler and more compact.The worm gearbox is an angle gear. This is often an edge for incorporation into constructions.
Solid bearings in solid housing
The output shaft of the BJ worm gearbox is very firmly embedded in the apparatus house and is ideal for immediate suspension for wheels, movable arms and other parts rather than having to create a separate suspension.
Self locking
For larger gear ratios,EP-Gear’s worm gearboxes will provide a self-locking effect, which in many circumstances can be utilized as brake or as extra security. Also spindle gearboxes with a trapezoidal spindle are self-locking, making them well suited for a wide selection of solutions.
Structural Features
The worm-gear reducer is made up of three main parts: housing, worm-gear and wheel.
The carcasses are constructed with GG-25 cast-iron, and are available for all kinds of gear-reducer. This make sure they are perform effectively under stressed circumstances, vibrations or any kind of setback that can’t be avoided during the assembly
The worm-gear is constructed of hardened and quench-hardened steel, with ground- on teeth sides, and the crowns made of DIN (GZ-CuSn 12 Ni2) centricast bronze, melted on steel. Because of the mechanical work of the two parts having high quality, excellent overall performance and low noise amounts have been achived.
The output shaft is hollow, though it can be done to adapt a good shaft.
The oil seals manufactured from NITRILE BUTADIENE, according to DIN 3760, high 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 on the market.
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 is born like response to the ask for of our costumers since, upon mounting better bearings in the result, bears greater axial loads that its analogous one in the MF-62 series. The others of technical characteristic are similar to the its analogous in the size 62.
Assembly Position
In order to create a gear reducer and also to make it happen efficiently, the next instructions must be considered:
It should be fixed on a flat surface in order to avoid either vibrations or tensions.
If undistributed loads or continued start-ups are foreseen, it is suggested to insert compensating couplings, connectors, torque limiters etc…
If the gear reducer had to be painted, the essential oil seals must be covered to prevent them from drying and losing their seal.
The device work of the fittings setup in the output shafts require an ISO H7 or h6 margin for the hollow shaft.
Backdriving
It is wise to pay attention to this aspect when the apparatus reducer result shaft is driven rather than being a driver. Considering that among the features of this worm-equipment reducer is the fact that cannot be axle-driven by the output shaft (irreversibility), it really is almost unattainable to meet total irreversibility conditions, due to external factors such as for example vibrations, etc. For this reason, when the application requires total irreversibility, it really is advisable to make use of exterior brakes with enough power to avoid slipping.
It could be said that the circumstances under which irreversibility can occur are as follows:
• Efficiency < 0,55 (find table of technical features).
Maintenance
This sort of gear reducer will get a permanent lubrication, so that it will not need any type of maintenance.
Lubrication
The lubrication of the 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 which has level of quality CLP DIN 51517-3, FGZ level 12, AP GL-4, US 224, AGMA 250-04; because of this its maintenance isn’t needed.
High reduction gear
Worm and wheel gear pairings provide large quickness decrease ratios with only one equipment pairing in a far more compact space when compared with other types of gears. You can expect up to a maximum ratio of 100:1 with this products. Another benefit of the Worm and Wheel gear pairings is the low level noise they produce. Some disadvantages will be the general low performance and the actual fact that they generate high temperature.
Advantage of EP’s Worm Gears – “Frosty rolled Worm Gears”
1) The hardness of the helicoid surface has been attained by work hardening when the cold rolling was performed, providing Worm gears with better mechanical properties than machined worms because of fact that the metallic fibrous framework has not been cut.
2) The surface hardness after cool rolling is increased by 1.2 to at least one 1.3 times when compared with the hardness of the initial material, and the hardness of the helicoid surface increases to around HB240 to 260.
3) Frosty rolled worms are ideal for miniature gear applications since this is often rotated smoothly without damaging the worm wheels made out of POM or additional 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 procedure and long-term durability.
Worm gears are constructed of a worm and a equipment (sometimes known as a worm wheel), with nonparallel, non-intersecting shafts oriented 90 degrees to each other. The worm is usually analogous to a screw with a V-type thread, and the gear can be analogous to a spur equipment. The worm is normally the traveling component, with the worm’s thread advancing the teeth of the gear.
Like a ball screw, the worm in a worm gear might have a single start or multiple starts – meaning that there are multiple threads, or helicies, on the worm. For a single-start worm, each complete change (360 degrees) of the worm advances the gear by one tooth. Therefore a gear with 24 teeth provides a gear reduction 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. (This is not the same as most other types of gears, where the gear reduction is usually a function of the diameters of both components.)
The meshing of the worm and the gear is an assortment of sliding and rolling actions, but sliding contact dominates at high reduction ratios. This sliding action causes friction and temperature, which limits the performance of worm gears to 30 to 50 percent. To be able to minimize friction (and for that reason, heat), the worm and gear are made from dissimilar metals – for instance, the worm could be made of hardened steel and the apparatus manufactured from bronze or aluminum.
Although the sliding contact reduces efficiency, it provides extremely quiet operation. (The usage of dissimilar metals for the worm and gear also plays a part in quiet operation.) This makes worm gears suitable for use where noise should be minimized, such as in elevators. In addition, the use of a softer material for the gear means that it could absorb shock loads, like those experienced in heavy equipment or crushing devices.
The primary benefit of worm gears is their ability to provide high reduction ratios and correspondingly high torque multiplication. They can also be utilized as velocity reducers in low- to moderate-swiftness applications. And, because their reduction ratio is based on the amount of gear teeth only, they are more compact than other styles of gears. Like fine-pitch business lead screws, worm gears are typically self-locking, which makes them ideal for hoisting and lifting applications.
Worms & Worm Gears
EP Gear’s worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for power transmitting applications requiring high-ratio quickness reduction in a limited space using correct angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly used, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest type of gearing.
Because the performance of a worm gear drive depends on the lead angle and quantity of begins on the worm – and because increased efficiency is always an objective, the ratio ought to be kept as low as possible. To run correctly, worms and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
