Worm gears stand out for compact transmission, not maximum efficiency. They deliver 20:1–100:1 high reduction within one stage, cutting component count and shortening drive systems.
With inherent anti-backdrive and optional self-locking performance, they fit positioning devices, hoists and actuators, offering smooth, low-noise torque output.
Sliding tooth contact causes lower efficiency (40%–85%), requiring strict heat control for continuous operation.
Select worm gear pairs based on your actual layout, holding and noise demands instead of single efficiency data.
