Single worm gear reduer reduction worm gearing provides high ratio reduction with few shifting parts in a close-coupled compact drive. The right angle set up of driving-to-driven machine requires a minimum of space. Input and output shafts can be prolonged in either or both directions in horizontal or vertical arrangements adaptable to any mounting requirement. Efficient motor speeds are decreased to slower speed requirements of several industrial machines in one reduction.

The exclusive usage of the involute Helicoid Thread form (with leaving side contact) on the worm and gear provides for high efficiencies, and long service lifestyle. The hardened surface and polished alloy steel worm develops a easy, work hardened surface on the bronze equipment. For this reason worm gears put on in and improve with extented service while other gears are wearing out. Ever-Power offers a broad selection of model configurations, sizes, ratios, and add-ons from our standard products.
Fabricated Designs
If your application involves severe shock loads or feasible housing damage from external sources (as in steel mills or mobile equipment applications) Ever-Power can provide fabricated steel housings with up to 48″ center distances. Fabricated housings provide maximum rigidity and strength which allows the transmitting of higher horsepower levels than are feasible with regular cast iron devices. Extra heavy aspect plates connect the worm and gear shaft bearing supports, assuring appropriate meshing of the apparatus under all load conditions. In smaller sizes, fabricated metal reducers are interchangeable with Ever-Power regular cast iron reducers.
Custom Designs
Ever-Power can offer custom acceleration and reversed engineered reducers for the application, be it a fresh project or a direct drop-in replacement for a competitor’s rate reducer. Fabricated metal reducers allow Ever-Power to match a competitor’s footprint, centerline, and shaft elevation allowing a primary drop-in alternative saving the customer time and money.
