Standard Bronze Worm Gear Applications
The high torque output of worm gears makes them ideal for heavily loaded machinery. Some of the most common applications for worm gears include:
Movable bridge components
The controlled and powerful movement of worm gears are ideal for inducing movements in large and heavy bridge structures.
Elevators, lifts, packaging tools, and conveyors
Worm gears are accustomed to provide the torque needed to transport weighty loads from one indicate another. The nonreversible properties of the gear also act as a secondary safety braking system.
Heavy-duty construction gear and trucks
Heavy vehicles often use a worm gear differential for additional power. With respect to the action of the vehicle, different levels of torque may need to be delivered to each wheel. Worm gears are used
to provide the necessary torque that governs each wheel's performance.
