The rotation of a cylindrical shaft is transmitted to a gear wheel whose axis is shifted by 90 degrees to the shaft. Their design makes them the ideal solution for applications where high transmission ratios must be implemented in confined spaces. They can transmit large forces with high precision and low maintenance requirement. During operation, they are known for their low noise levels and low wear.<\/p>\n<p>The most important components of the worm gearbox are the worm and the worm wheel. The helical worm sits on the worm shaft, which is usually driven. The worm wheel offset at a 90\u00b0 angle is usually responsible for the output drive. It continuously engages with several teeth into the worm which makes the worm gearbox the ideal solution for the transmission of high torques. At the same time, the speed of the driving motor is considerably reduced \u2013 a desirable feature when used in elevator and escalator gearboxes, for example.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;hg-grau&#8221; el_id=&#8221;merkmale&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of AUMA Drives worm gearboxes<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Advantage 1:<\/strong> The <strong>in-house R&amp;D department<\/strong> allows for the precise design of gearboxes to meet customer requirements &#8211; from initial drawing to CAD model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantage 2:<\/strong> Over <strong>120 years of experience<\/strong> with worm gearboxes and many long-serving team members guarantee extraordinary know-how.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantage 3:<\/strong> At its <strong>in-house test center<\/strong>, AUMA Drives puts its own Gearboxes and components from suppliers to the test for quality and performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantage 4: <\/strong>AUMA Drives&#8217; worm gearbox <strong>production depth<\/strong> in Coswig is exceptional and ensures the highest precision of all components..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantage 5:<\/strong> As part of <strong>quality management<\/strong>, every component in AUMA Drives gearboxes can be precisely traced.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_id=&#8221;branchen&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Worm gearbox applications<\/h2>\n<p>The use cases for worm gearboxes are diverse: as reliable and efficient high-performance gearboxes, they are used in the steel and mining industries, where constantly high forces need to be transmitted safely with minimal backlash.

options<\/h3>\n<p>AUMA Drives worm gearboxes are designed for a wide range of connection and mounting options. As shaft-mounted gearboxes, they are attached to the electric motor directly on the drive shaft of the driven machine. They are secured via torque arms, the drive flange or\/and bolt circles. The basic variant (SVA type) uses a solid shaft at the drive and a hollow shaft on the output. With the AUMA Drives modular system, it can be extended with various flanges, covers, shafts and many other options.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_id=&#8221;schnecke&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Worm<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The helical worm sits on the worm shaft, which is usually driven.

Chrome-manganese alloyed case-hardened steel (16MnCrS5), which is case-hardened and ground, is used for the worm shaft. The worm wheel is manufactured by the AUMA Drives specialists from extremely durable specialized bronze. Depending on the operating environment, gray iron or ductile cast iron is used for the housing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_class=&#8221;grey-sep&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;schmierung&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Lubrication<\/h3>\n<p>Fully synthetic oils and lubricants are recommended for the lubrication of AUMA Drives worm gearboxes to achieve minimum maintenance requirements.

With static self-locking, it is not possible for the worm shaft to start up when the worm wheel is driving without external factors.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamic self-locking, on the other hand, can also be activated during operation and is dependent on the operating efficiency. Alternatives to self-locking are backlash stops or braking systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_class=&#8221;grey-sep&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;lagerung&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Bearing<\/h3>\n<p>AUMA Drives only uses quality bearings for its worm gearboxes, which are extensively tested in its own test center.
