A 1B 6-Z48024 is a bronze worm gear with 24 teeth, a pitch diameter of 0.500 inch, a 5/8 inch bore, and a 1/2 inch hub length, designed to mesh with a 48-pitch steel worm. It has a 25° pressure angle and a right-hand thread engagement. The gear is precision-machined with a bore tolerance of +0.0010/-0.0000 inch and is part of a series featuring 48-pitch, quadruple-thread worms with a 14° 2' lead angle.
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.
