One reduction worm gearing offers high ratio reduction with couple of shifting parts in a close-coupled small drive. The right angle set up of driving-to-driven machine requires a minimum of space. Input and result shafts can be extended in either or both directions in horizontal or vertical plans adaptable to any mounting requirement. Efficient engine speeds are reduced to slower speed requirements of several industrial machines in a single reduction.

The exclusive utilization of the involute Helicoid Thread form (with departing side contact) on the worm and gear provides for high efficiencies, and long service life. The hardened ground and polished alloy metal worm develops a even, work hardened surface on the bronze gear. For this reason worm gears use in and improve with extented service while other gears are wearing out. EP offers a broad selection of model configurations, sizes, ratios, and accessories from our standard product line.
Fabricated Designs
If your application involves serious shock loads or possible housing damage from external sources (as in steel mills or mobile equipment applications) EP can provide fabricated steel housings with up to a 48″ center distances. Fabricated housings provide optimum rigidity and strength that allows the transmitting of higher horsepower levels than are feasible with regular cast iron systems. Extra heavy side plates connect the worm and gear shaft bearing facilitates, assuring appropriate meshing of the apparatus under all load circumstances. In smaller sizes, fabricated metal reducers are interchangeable with EP regular cast iron reducers.
Custom Designs
EP can provide custom quickness and reversed engineered reducers for the application, be it a new project or a direct drop-in alternative to a competitor’s speed reducer. Fabricated metal reducers enable EP to match a competitor’s footprint, centerline, and shaft height allowing a primary drop-in replacement saving the customer time and money.
Long – Quiet Life
All worm gears in EP reducers are manufactured from phosphorous bronze. Our style also includes a hardened, floor and polished alloy metal worm. This combination develops a even, work-hardened mating surface of the bronze gear which enhances with prolonged service.
Worm gearing is a class of gear reducers that utilizes right angle, nonintersecting shafts. This style of reducer provides soft and quiet procedure and allows for the probability of large rate reductions. These gears can be found from stock in a wide selection of ratios, from as low as 4:1 up to 3600:1. The compact design and construction allows worm equipment reducers to be positioned in a comparatively small space. Thus, very high reductions in a limited package size can be achieved with this configuration. Our worm gear features the continuous sliding tooth actions between worm and the teeth. This increases the tolerance for weighty loads and shock loads. Worm gear drives provide users high reducing convenience of relatively low cost when compared to some other types of gearing.
The use of worm gearing extends across many industries including food, beverage and grain and has many applications. Some applications that make use of worm gearing are: conveyors, mixers and bucket elevators.
EP worm gear reducer gearbox series base on years of encounters uses designed teeth surface area with unsurpassed torque transfer performance with great performance, efficency and cost.Worm gear system transmits power through sliding contact, resulting in extremely low vibration , sound, little backlash and self-locking property
-Housing:One time we casting creats great rigidity for serious impacts. Outer cooling fins and inner lubrication oil diversion channel style to improve heat dissipation.
-Worm Shaft: Manufactured with Carbon alloyed Steel S45C or SCM415, precison machined and carburized to HRC45 or HRC60, after that for precision tooth grinding to ensure maximum contacting.
-Worm Wheel: Manufactured with Carbon alloy ALBC2, teeth are machined by precision CNC hobbing machine to sustain high impact.
A worm equipment reducer is one type of reduction gear package which consists of a worm pinion input, an output worm gear, and features a right angle output orientation. This kind of reduction gear package is normally used to have a rated motor swiftness and create a low speed output with higher torque value based on the decrease ratio. They often times can resolve space-saving problems because the worm equipment reducer is among the sleekest decrease gearboxes available due to the little diameter of its result gear.
worm gear reducerWorm gear reducers are also a favorite type of acceleration reducer because they offer the greatest speed reduction in the smallest package. With a higher ratio of speed reduction and high torque output multiplier, it’s unsurprising that many power transmission systems utilize a worm gear reducer. Some of the most common applications for worm gears can be found in tuning instruments, medical tests equipment, elevators, security gates, and conveyor belts.
SW-1 and SW-5
Torque Transmission offers two sizes of worm equipment reducer, the SW-1 and the SW-5 and both are available in a variety of ratios. The SW-1 ratios include 3.5:1 to 60:1 and the SW-5 ratios include 5:1 to 100:1. Both these options are produced with rugged compression-molded glass-fill up polyester housings for a long lasting, long lasting, light weight speed reducer that’s also compact, noncorrosive, and nonmetallic.
Features
Our worm gear reducers offer an option of a solid or hollow result shaft and show an adjustable mounting placement. Both the SW-1 and the SW-5, however, can withstand shock loading better than other reduction gearbox designs, making them well suited for demanding applications.

Worm Gear Reducers also referred to as worm gearbox or worm acceleration reducers. Worm gear reducers are used for speed decrease and increasing the torque for electric motor drives. You can choose to attach your NEMA electric motor to the reducer by using the NEMA C face flange or use a coupling. If you need a coupling for the result or input shaft see our coupling section for choosing the coupling. You can expect four assemblies left hand and right hand and double result shaft and shaft insight and shaft result. Interchangeable with many worm gear manufactures.

EP DDVM series triple-reduction worm gear swiftness reducers can be found in ratios from 5000:1 to 175,000:1 and middle distances from 7” to 20” (larger sizes available on request). Output torque ranges from 33,000 in lbs. for the 7” CD DDVM-70 to 582,900 in pounds for the DDVM-200. Mechanical HP insight requirements are from 0.09 HP for the 175,000:1 7 in CD reducer to 6.25 HP for the 5000:1 20” CD unit. These reducers can be found in four configurations: horizontal, vertical, shafted, and shaft mounted.
These reducers are perfect for water/waste-water devices drive applications such as for example thickeners and clarifiers, which require a vertical straight down shaft. Other offered configurations also make EP triple decrease reducers perfect for use on mixers, elevators, solar power panels, astronomical telescopes, indexing tables, hoists, conveyors, or other process or materials handling systems where huge torques/sluggish speeds are needed.
These reducers are also offered with a helical main reduction stage and so are termed the HDVM series

Description
The HDR Series worm equipment reducers are used in low to moderate horsepower applications to reduce speeds and increase torque. Worm gear reducers are available in direct or indirect drive, direct drive models are 56C or 145TC flange attach with either right, still left or dual output shafts or a hollow bore output. The indirect drive models are shaft input-shaft result boxes for make use of with sprocket or pulley drive systems. They provide an effective low cost solution to speed decrease and increased torque, with higher tolerances for shock loading than helical gear reducers.
In order to select a gearbox speed reducer, you will need to determine the mandatory torque and service factor for the application. Click on “Specs” above for a table that will aid in identifying the service aspect. For service factors above 1.0, multiply the mandatory torque by the program factor.
