Transmax worm gear is a type of gear mechanism that consists of a worm (which resembles a screw) and a worm wheel (which is similar to a spur gear). These gears are commonly used to transmit power and motion between non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts, usually at right angles.
Key Features:
High Reduction Ratios: Worm gears can achieve high gear reductions in a compact space.
Self-Locking Capability: Depending on the lead angle, worm gears can be self-locking, which prevents the gear from back-driving.
Smooth and Quiet Operation: The sliding contact between the worm and the worm wheel leads to smooth and quiet operation.
Shock Load Absorption: The design can absorb shock loads better
