NMRV worm geared motor and worm gears provide an effective answer for power transmission applications requiring high-ratio speed reduction in a limited space using right angle (90°), non-intersecting shafts. When properly applied, worms and worm gears provide the smoothest, quietest form of gearing.
worm gear efficiency of a worm gear drive depends on the lead angle and number of starts on the worm - and because increased efficiency is always a goal, the ratio should be kept as low as possible. To run properly, worms and worm gears used together must have the same diametral pitch and threads.
