RS PRO 1 Module, 1 Start, 18 mm Diam, 16 mm Pitch Dia.

Do you need high-quality worm gears, then consider the RS PRO 0.8 and 1-pitch module worm gears. The worm gears are metric and used to transfer rotational motion between two perpendicular shafts. Our worm gears are a carbon steel grade with a black oxide finish and consist of a threaded shaft called the worm which meshes with a toothed wheel called the worm wheel or worm gear.

Metric worm gears, commonly used in machinery and equipment where high reduction ratios are required. The gear system offers high precision and efficiency due to the large contact area between the worm and worm wheel. However, it also generates a significant amount of heat and requires proper lubrication to operate smoothly.
