The KCG2.5-50R2J18 is a right-hand lead worm gear with a module of 2.5 and features 50 teeth. It is designed with two starts, which allows for smoother operation and reduced backlash. The gear is made from cast iron, specifically FC200 material, ensuring durability and strength in various applications. The finished bore diameter is 18mm, making it suitable for specific shaft sizes. The normal pressure angle is 20¬8, which is standard for worm gears, contributing to effective power transmission. This product is part of a series that includes various configurations, allowing for flexibility in design and application.
Module 2.5, 50 Tooth, 2 Start, Right Handed Cast Iron Worm Gear with 18mm 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.
