Worm gears are compact gears that transmit torque between intersecting axes and enable high gear ratios thanks to their worm and worm wheel design. They offer a self-locking effect, which makes them ideal for applications where backward movements must be prevented. They are used in mechanical engineering, conveyor technology, drive technology and vehicle technology, for example in elevators, conveyor systems or machine tools. Worm gears impress with their quiet operation, high load capacity and space-saving design.
