Determination of Worm and Worm Gear Rotation Direction?
1 Answers
To determine the rotation direction of a worm or worm gear, align the axis vertically. If the right side of the helix is higher, it is right-handed; if the left side is higher, it is left-handed. Here are specific details about worm gears and worms: 1. Main Series: The WH series worm gear reducers include WHT/WHX/WHS/WHC, the CW series includes CWU/CWS/CWO, the WP series includes WPA/WPS/WPW/WPE/WPZ/WPD, and the TP series enveloping worm gear reducers include TPU/TPS/TPA/TPG. Additionally, based on the shape of the worm, worm gear drives can be classified into cylindrical worm drives, globoid worm drives, and conical worm drives. 2. Applications: Worm and worm gear mechanisms are commonly used in scenarios involving intersecting shafts, large transmission ratios, low transmission power, or intermittent operation.
