Product Description
Design
Armed with the idea of the small in volume, light in weight and novel in pattern, we designed and developed the CHINAMFG series gear operators which are wildly applied in the area of valve automation control. These kinds of products were specially designed used for butterfly valve, ball valve and plug valve together with YSPHA series pneumatic actuator
Feature
1, Easy connection: There are 2 keyway apart 90¡ In the inner hole of worm gear so as to be convenient for customer to choose relative position between gear operator and valve.
2, Easy operating: Pull out the position pin and rotate off center device with 180¡ To realize pneumatic drive by positioning pin acted or to realize manual drive in the opposite way.
3, Dustproof and waterproof: The gear operator is filled with special lubricant before leaving the factory. It is CHINAMFG sealed with valve after installation possessing dustproof and waterproof function with protecting grade IP65.
4, Many Output torques: It consists of a series of products, so output torque matches with all kinds of pneumatic devices and valves.
Operating principle
1, Assembling procedures: The bottom of gear operator should be connected with valve, bracket surface connected with cylinder (actuator), valve stem go through the inner hole of worm gear and the square on the end of stem matches with square hole of cylinder (actuator).
2, Operating procedures: The cylinder (actuator) drives valve stem and worm gear rotating together when pneumatic drive and worm shaft meshes with worm gear to drive valve stem rotating along with piston of cylinder (actuator) moving when manual drive. When pneumatic drive, pull out the pneumatic drive by worm gear rotating following with pneumatic valve stem. Just make the worm shaft mesh to realize manual drive.

Calculating Gear Ratio in a Worm Reducer
The gear ratio in a worm reducer is determined by the number of teeth on the worm wheel (also known as the worm gear) and the number of threads on the worm shaft. The gear ratio formula for a worm reducer is:
Gear Ratio = Number of Teeth on Worm Wheel / Number of Threads on Worm Shaft
For example, if the worm wheel has 60 teeth and the worm shaft has a single thread, the gear ratio would be 60:1.
It’s important to note that worm reducers have an inherent self-locking property due to the angle of the worm threads. As a result, the gear ratio also affects the mechanical advantage and the system’s ability to resist backdriving.
When calculating the gear ratio, ensure that the worm reducer is properly designed and that the gear ratio aligns with the desired mechanical characteristics for your application. Additionally, consider factors such as efficiency, load capacity, and speed limitations when selecting a gear ratio for a worm reducer.
Materials Used for Worm Gears
Worm gears are manufactured using a variety of materials to meet different application requirements. Some commonly used materials for worm gears include:
- Steel: Steel is a popular choice for worm gears due to its strength, durability, and wear resistance. It can handle heavy loads and is often used in industrial applications.
- Bronze: Bronze offers good lubricity and is commonly used for the worm gear (worm) component. It provides effective wear resistance and works well in applications where quiet operation is essential.
- Cast Iron: Cast iron is known for its high strength and durability. It’s often used for worm gears in applications where shock loads or heavy-duty conditions are expected.
- Aluminum: Aluminum worm gears are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for applications where weight reduction is important.
- Plastic: Some worm gears are made from plastic materials such as nylon or acetal. These materials are often chosen for their self-lubricating properties and quiet operation.
- Composite Materials: Composite materials can offer a combination of properties, such as lightweight construction and corrosion resistance. They can be suitable for specific applications.
The choice of material depends on factors such as the application’s load, speed, operating environment, and required performance characteristics. It’s important to consider these factors when selecting the appropriate material for worm gears to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Can a Worm Gearbox Provide High Torque Output?
Yes, a worm gearbox is capable of providing high torque output due to its unique design and principle of operation. Worm gears are known for their high torque multiplication capabilities, making them suitable for applications that require significant torque transfer.
The torque output of a worm gearbox is influenced by several factors:
- Lead Angle: The lead angle of the worm affects the mechanical advantage of the gear system. A larger lead angle can result in higher torque output.
- Worm Diameter: A larger diameter worm can offer increased torque output as it provides more contact area with the gear.
- Gear Ratio: The gear ratio between the worm and the gear determines the torque multiplication factor. A higher gear ratio leads to higher torque output.
- Lubrication: Proper lubrication is essential to minimize friction and ensure efficient torque transmission.
- Material and Quality: High-quality materials and precision manufacturing contribute to the gearbox’s ability to handle high torque loads.
Due to their ability to provide high torque output in a compact form factor, worm gearboxes are commonly used in various industrial applications, including heavy machinery, construction equipment, conveyor systems, and more.
