The KSW3-R1 is a metric worm gear made from mild steel, featuring a module of 3 and a single start design. It has a right-handed thread and a plain bore. The worm is designed to produce axial thrust forces, which should be considered in the application. The product is suitable for various mechanical systems requiring reliable torque transmission. The specifications indicate that it is compatible with standard gear teeth and has a normal pressure angle of 14¬8 30'. The KSW3-R1 is part of a series that may require specific lead times for orders, and it is important to note that modifications may affect its performance.
Module 3, 1 Start Mild Steel Right Handed Worm with Plain 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.
