A 1Q 5-Y24 is a steel worm with a 24-pitch, double-threaded right-hand helix, 0.1875-inch bore with a +0.0008/−0.0000 inch tolerance, and a hardened and polished finish. It is designed to mesh with 24-pitch bronze worm gears at a 20° pressure angle and has a lead of 0.2618 inch and a lead angle of 9° 28′.
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.
