Worm Drives
Worm gear slew drives are very compact with a high power density transmitting high forces with compactness. For these oil lubricated units we especially want to offer customized solutions.
This type of drive will not be offered for grease lubricated operation.
The field of applications for this type of worm gear (Worm with one or two starts) is very special since the poor efficiency, and self-locking only a low duty cycle can be realized. Again, the core part is the externally toothed ball bearing slewing gear, which is installed in a sealed housing, in which the drive train is incorporated.
Possible field of applications include Manipulators, solar tracker, heavy-duty modules, steering gear, assembling, and welding equipment, .... .
