Gearing threads

Gearing and threaded components play a key role in power transmission. This Lexicon entry provides knowledge on machining methods, tolerances, and how to interpret technical drawings—essential for accurate communication with suppliers.

Worm gear
A worm gear is a screw-rolling gear which transfers the rotational movement of a cylindrical shaft to a rotating gear which is offset by 90°. Snail transmissions allow a particularly high transmission to narrow space and are therefore outstandingly suitable for demanding space conditions. Snail gears work highly precise, are very powerful and in addition are able to reliably compensate for axial offsets. For this reason, the low-noise and insensitive transmissions are used worldwide in demanding applications such as conveyor systems, extrusion machines, separation machines or profile machining machines.
