You may have heard of worm-style and helical gear reducers. However, do you know the difference between the two, and do you know which one is best for your specific needs? The two types of gear reducers vary in price and other key qualities such as efficiency.
What are Worm-Style Gear Reducers?
A worm-style gear reducer is a type of gear box that is also categorized as a speed reducer. A worm gear reducer contains a few components, including an output worm gear, a right-angle output orientation, and a worm pinion input. Worm-style gear reducers produce a large reduction ratio, but they do not require a significant effort. A worm-gear reducer is generally used to increase torque output while maintaining a slower output speed. They can also help increase torque on a drive.
What are Helical Gear Reducers?
Helical gear reducers are a mechanized system that uses either an engine or a motor. This type of gearbox works to control the output speed of a motor or a machine. It works closely with the engine to make sure that torque is amplified and to help control speed. The helical gear reducer is usually used in an automation control system.
Efficiency is Key
You might be using worm gearboxes at this point and wondering if there is a more efficient solution out there. If so, you've reached the right place. Kurz Industrial is here to tell you that using a helical bevel gear reducer can make a significant difference. Using a helical bevel gear reducer can achieve a tremendous amount of nearly 100 percent efficiency. A helical gear reducer is one of the most efficient kinds of reducers available. Helical gear reducers made by Stober are 97 percent efficient, which makes them valuable in terms both saving time and money. Aside from just saving money with the initial cost of the product, you will find that you save money over the course of the gear reducer's lifetime as well. Two, five, or even 10 years down the road, the cost savings from using a helical gear reducer turn out to be quite a bit more significant than using a worm-style gear reducer.
