What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Worm Gear Reducer?

Worm gear reducer is a power transmission mechanism that uses gear speed converters to reduce the number of revolutions of the motor to the required number of revolutions and obtain a larger torque.

Advantages of worm gear reducer:

1. The mechanical structure is compact, lightweight, small and efficient; the worm gear reducer transmission is a spiral transmission, and the main form of the transmission is gear meshing transmission, so the transmission is more stable, the vibration is small, and the noise is low. It is suitable for machinery that needs a stable state. use.
2. Good heat exchange performance and fast heat dissipation;
3. Easy to install, flexible and light, superior performance, easy to maintain and repair;
4. Large transmission speed ratio, large torque, high overload capacity;
5. Smooth operation, low noise, durable;
6. Strong applicability, high safety and reliability;
7. The service life is long, the allowable input speed range is very low, and the deceleration range is very large;
8. With self-locking function, suitable for lifting operations.

Disadvantages of worm gear reducer :

1. The transmission efficiency is low.
2. The wear and tear in the transmission is severe. The worm gear drive is a meshing gear drive, and there is a relatively large relative sliding speed between the meshing gears, which will cause the wear of the tooth surface, heat and energy consumption. Therefore, in order to prolong the life of the turbine reducer, the working efficiency is too low, and can only reach between 60 and 70%.
3. Turbine and worm are usually output by shaft. It is difficult to control the idling, especially when the turbine and the worm have run-in time for a long time, the idling is relatively large. Usually it is of degree level.
