A bronze worm gear with 18 teeth, a pitch diameter of 0.750 inch, a bore diameter of 0.500 inch, a hub length of 0.500 inch, and a keyway bore E of 0.250 inch, designed to mesh with a 24-pitch, right-hand, single-thread steel worm with a 14.5° pressure 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.
