During the selection process of (worm gear reducers), many customers have misunderstandings about the concept of the center distance, and even confuse it with the center height of the output shaft.
The worm gear reducer is mainly composed of a worm gear and a worm. The worm gear is like a gear, and the worm is a shaft with a helix, similar to a large bolt. The center distance plays a key role in it, which refers to the distance between the center of the worm gear and the center of the worm. With the increase of the center distance, the rated power and output torque of the reducer will increase accordingly, but the cost will also increase, and at the same time, the overall size of the reducer will also become larger. This means that when choosing a worm gear reducer, customers should not only pay attention to whether the power and torque meet the requirements, but also weigh the cost factor. It is necessary to make a rough calculation to determine the size and power of the output force of the required reducer. On the premise of ensuring that the reducer does not operate under overload, it is necessary to ensure that it can withstand a large enough torque, and also consider practical issues such as volume and cost.
Furthermore, the speed ratio is a basic attribute of a worm gear reducer. The speed ratio is the ratio of the input speed to the output speed, such as 1:10, 1:30, 1:50, etc. Customers should choose the appropriate speed ratio according to their own usage needs. Usually, for a certain type of reducer, several fixed speed ratios will be set. When choosing, it is best for users to give priority to the fixed speed ratios.
