Due to their multiple mounting possibilities worm-gear drives are employed in almost all branches of industry.
Their special features are the crossed axes and a wide range of gear ratios extending in one step from i = 5 to i = 100. The sliding motion of the tooth flanks ensures silent and vibration dampened operation. The simultaneous meshing of several teeth and the line contact result in a high load bearing capacity.
Overview ATLANTA Cylindrical Worm Gear Drives program:
As regards their load bearing capacity, ATLANTA worm-gear drive units are classified according to centre distances.
The maximum loading values indicated in the table have been calculated for standard worm drives (without cooling fan) and adequate dip-feed lubrication using synthetic gear oil (polyglycol basis). In the case of lubrication with mineral oils the load values are reduced by 30–40 %.
