The KCG2.5-20R2J17 is a right-hand lead worm gear with a module of 2.5 and features 20 teeth and 2 starts. It is constructed from cast iron, specifically FC200 material, which provides durability and strength. The gear has a finished bore diameter of 17mm, making it suitable for various applications requiring precise motion control. The normal pressure angle is 20¬8, and the gear teeth are designed with standard full depth. This product is part of a series that includes other configurations, allowing for flexibility in design and integration into different systems. The KCG2.5-20R2J17 is ideal for engineers seeking reliable worm gears for their projects.
Module 2.5, 20 Tooth, 2 Start, Right Handed Cast Iron Worm Gear with 17mm Finished Bore
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.
