What factors affect the transmission efficiency of WS300-23.5-II worm gear reducer 2025-09-22
WS300-23.5-II The transmission efficiency of the worm gear reducer is affected by a variety of factors, as follows: Worm lead angle: The larger the lead angle, the smaller the sliding friction between the worm and the worm gear tooth surface, and the higher the transmission efficiency. Generally speaking, the lead angle is Between 3.5°-33°, if it exceeds 30°. Although the efficiency will be further improved in theory, the processing difficulty will increase significantly. In addition, the lead angle of the multi-head worm is larger than that of the single-head worm, so under the same conditions, the transmission efficiency of the multi-head worm (such as double-head and triple-head) is higher, but the transmission ratio will be reduced accordingly. Material pairing and friction coefficient: Usually the worm is made of steel, such as medium carbon steel or medium carbon alloy steel, while the worm gear is made of bronze, such as cast tin bronze or cast aluminum bronze. This combination of steel worm and bronze worm gear can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction, reduce wear, and thus improve transmission efficiency. In addition, the worm is inserted into
