6 Common Misconceptions About Worm Gear Backlash
In precision engineering and manufacturing, worm gear backlash remains one of the most misunderstood mechanical concepts. While many engineers view backlash as purely problematic, the reality is more nuanced. The six most common misconceptions about worm gear backlash are: believing worm gears have no backlash, viewing backlash as always problematic, assuming backlash cannot be controlled, […]
8 Essential Materials & Coatings to Reduce Worm Gear Wear
In precision engineering, worm gear performance hinges on material selection. With manufacturing costs rising and efficiency demands increasing, choosing the right materials and coatings can significantly extend gear life and reduce maintenance frequency. The essential materials for optimal worm gear performance include three specialized gear materials (Phosphor Bronze, Aluminum Bronze, and Tin Bronze) and five […]
