A 1B 6-Y48072 is a bronze worm gear with 72 teeth, 20° pressure angle, and 48 pitch, designed to mesh with a steel worm. It has a pitch diameter of 1.500 inches, a bore diameter of 0.500 inches, a hub projection of 9/16 inch, and a hub length of 0.3119 inch. The bore tolerance is +.0010/-.0000 inch.
A worm gear pair, or worm gear set, consists of two gears: the worm, which resembles a spiral screw, and the worm gear (aka, worm wheel).
For the pair to mesh, the worm and worm gear must have the same pressure angles, modules, and lead directions (left- or right-hand).
A worm revolves on a shaft that’s perpendicular to the worm gear and the shaft angle is typically 90°. Because the teeth gradually mesh as the worm rotates, there is low noise and low vibration.
