Mr. Gears worms and worm gears provide an effective answer for such power transmission applications as high-ratio speed reduction, limited space, right-angle shafts and non-intersecting shafts. When properly applied, they are the smoothest and quietest form of gearing. Steel worms and cast iron or bronze worm gears having throated teeth are available in single, double or quadruple threads, .200 to 3 diametral pitch or metric .2 module to 6 module. Acetal worms and worm gears are available in 48,32 and 24 diametral pitches.
