American Precision Gear custom manufactures tight tolerance precision worm gears to your specifications. We can produce the most complex worm gear designs, including single or multiple threading and left or right hand worm gears. We work to your specifications and all critical contact surfaces are held to your tolerances (up to 0.0001"). Every worm gear we manufacture is put through our rigorous QA procedures. We can provide our clients with AGMA Level 12 quality gears. Both inch and metric unit worm gears are available.

Diameter

Worm Gears up to 48", Worms up to 30"

Diametral Pitch

Up to 20 DP

Hub Options

Worm gear available in hubbed or hubless versions

Lead Time

Average lead time on worm gear and worm orders is 4-8-10 weeks

Length

Worms up to 30"

Preferred Drawing Formats

We prefer to accept CAD files of your designs in DXF format

Quality Control

Conforming to general Military Quality control requirements as follows: MIL-I-45208A, MIL-STD-45662A, ISO 9001:2000 compliant and ISO 13485 Medical Device Certification is pending.

Quantities

10+

Ratio

Capable of ratios up to 200:1

Threads

Right hand and left hand threads available for worm gear and worm in single, double, tripe or quadruple threads

Tolerances

We specialize in holding very tight tolerances on your worm gear and worm designs. We can provide up to +/-0.0001"

Use
