KHK Worms and worm gears
High wear-resistance and precision


WormsAndWormGears
(Duplex lead worms and worm gears)
Duplex lead worms have different leads and lead angles within the length of the worms' threads. After the mesh is set, users can easily obtain any desired backlash by shifting the worm in the axial direction. These highly wear-resistant worms are available both in bore type and shaft type designs.

(Ground worms and worm gears)
KHK's high grade worms and worm gears are especially designed to be used in high efficiency and high reduction ratio situations. Teeth surfaces of the worms are ground after induction hardening. These products are offered in module 0.5 to 6 and reduction ratios of 1/10 to 1/60.

(Worms and worm gears)
Standard worm gear sets come in module 0.8 to 6 and gear ratios of 1/10 to 1/120. KHK supplies right-hand as well as left-hand thread sets.
