A 1M 6-N48020 is a 48-pitch, right-hand, single-thread worm gear with 20 teeth, designed to mesh with matching worms at a 90-degree angle. It has a pitch diameter of 0.417 inch, an outer diameter of 0.458 inch, a bore diameter of 3/8 inch, a face width of 11/32 inch, and a hub length of 3/16 inch. The gear is made of acetal and features a hex bore with 5/32 inch across flats. It operates with a 14.5-degree pressure angle and is compatible with standard steel or brass worms.
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.
