Schneckenuntersetzung
Schneckenuntersetzung, also known as worm gearing or worm reduction, is a mechanical gear system consisting of a screw-like component called a worm and a toothed wheel called a worm wheel. The worm meshes with the teeth of the worm wheel, and rotation of the worm causes the worm wheel to rotate. This arrangement is primarily used to achieve a significant speed reduction in a compact space.
The key characteristic of a Schneckenuntersetzung is its high gear ratio, which is typically achieved in a
Schneckenuntersetzung systems are known for their ability to transmit high torque at low speeds. The meshing
Common applications for Schneckenuntersetzung include lifting mechanisms, conveyor belts, winches, and other machinery requiring high torque
