A 1B 6-Z48120 is a bronze worm gear with 120 teeth and a pitch diameter of 2.500 inches, designed to mesh with a 48-pitch right-hand steel worm. It has a 5/8 inch bore, a hub length of 1/2 inch, and a hub projection of 9/16 inch. The gear is specified with a bore tolerance of +.0010/-.0000 and is intended for use in applications requiring a 30:1 gear ratio with low noise and smooth operation.
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.
