A 1B 6-Z32040 is a bronze worm gear with 40 teeth and a pitch diameter of 1.250 inches, designed to mesh with a 32-pitch right-hand steel worm. It has a face width of 5/8 inch and a hub height of 1/2 inch. The gear is part of a 32-pitch quadruple-thread worm gear series with a 25° pressure angle and a lead angle of 15° 57'. The bore tolerance is not specified for this part, but the series uses standard inch dimensions and is intended for perpendicular shaft applications.
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.
