What are the 5 advantages of double enveloping worm gear reducers?

Date: 2025-02-14

A speed reducer or speed gearbox is a device that increases torque and load in industrial applications. Among speed reducers and gearboxes, the double enveloping worm gear reducer can be called a "dark horse" product.

In industrial production and mechanical transmission, everyone is looking for high torque double enveloping worm gear reducers. So as a

commonly used speed reduction transmission device, what are the 5 obvious advantages of the double enveloping worm gear reducers?

As a copywriter working for one of the leading gearbox manufacturer in china, today I would like to share the key advantages of the double enveloping worm gearboxes.

 

(1) Wide transmission ratio range and high efficiency

The transmission ratio range of the double enveloping worm gear reducer is relatively large, generally between 5:1-70:1. This makes the double enveloping worm gear reducer very suitable for situations where a wide range of speed or high torque adjustment is required. At the same time, the transmission efficiency of the double enveloping worm gear reducer is generally between 90%-95%. The optimized design and precision machining of the reducer ensure the meshing effect between the gears, thereby reducing energy loss. The double enveloping worm gear reducer can usually be called high torque gearbox.

 

(2) Small size, smooth operation, and low noise

The double enveloping worm gear reducer usually adopts a compact structure design, which makes it have a small size and weight while ensuring transmission performance. This provides more space options for equipment installation and reduces the weight of the whole machine.

 

At the same time, the worm of the double enveloping worm gear reducer has been precisely machined and heat treated, with high tooth surface hardness and smooth gear meshing, so the vibration and noise are low during operation.

 

Generally speaking, innovative worm gearbox manufacturers now are adopting new technology to update the double enveloping worm gearbox to low the noise of it.

 

 

(3) Strong load-bearing capacity and high transmission accuracy

 

The material of the worm and heat treatment process of the double enveloping worm gear reducer make it have high strength and toughness, high processing accuracy, and high meshing contact accuracy between the worm and the worm wheel. Therefore, it has strong load-bearing capacity and high accuracy during the transmission process.

 

For example, SGR's double enveloping worm gear reducer uses 20CrMnTi and high-strength alloy steel as the worm material. These steels have good mechanical properties, including high strength, high hardness and good toughness.

 

(4) Easy installation and maintenance

 

The double enveloping worm gear  reducer has good versatility and interchangeability. It has various installation methods, such as shaft installation, foot installation, flange installation, etc. The diverse installation methods provide users with convenient installation options.

 

The double enveloping worm gear reducer usually uses a closed structure to reduce the possibility of oil leakage. At the same time, its structure is simple and easy to disassemble and maintain.

 

(5) Unique self-locking feature, which is safer in Mechanical transmission

In a high torque worm gearbox,due to the large friction angle between the worm and the worm wheel, it is difficult to reverse drive the worm when the worm wheel is subjected to external force. This feature is called "self-locking".

 

The "self-locking" feature greatly improves the safety of the system and is suitable for application scenarios where loads need to be prevented from falling freely, such as lifting equipment, safety doors, etc. The self-locking function can also simplify the design of the braking system, reduce additional braking devices, and reduce costs.

 

The double enveloping worm gear reducer has a strong load-bearing capacity and excellent accuracy in the transmission process due to its carefully selected materials, advanced heat treatment process and high-precision processing technology. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for many high-end mechanical equipment and widely used in heavy machinery, metallurgical equipment, wind power generation and other fields.

 

Up to now, the double enveloping worm reducers manufactured by the worm gearbox manufacturer SGR have been used in various industries including chemical industry, metallurgy, construction, food, machinery manufacturing, etc., and have been widely praised by customers. They have made contributions to promoting the development and progress of the field of mechanical transmission.(Author:SGR, Angie Zhang)
