A 1T 6-N244008S is a 24-pitch molded worm gear with 40 teeth, made of mineral-filled nylon, featuring a brass insert and a #8-32 set screw with a sub-drill. It has a pitch diameter of 1.667 inches, an outer diameter of 1.750 inches, a bore diameter of 0.2500 inches, a face width of 0.2500 inches, and a hub projection of 5/16 inch. The gear operates with a 14-1/2° pressure angle and is designed to mesh with standard steel or brass worms at right angles.
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.
