Worm Shaft for Medical Devices
Worm shaft is a vital component in many medical devices. Its main function is to transmit power between two non-intersecting shafts that are perpendicular to each other. Here are the main functions of worm shaft:
- Worm shaft is used to provide a high reduction ratio between the input and output shafts.
- It can transfer motion between two shafts that are not parallel and have a high angle of misalignment.
- Worm shaft can maintain a constant velocity ratio between two shafts.
- It can withstand high loads and transfer power efficiently.
- Worm shaft can also provide a self-locking feature and prevent back driving.
The material of worm shaft is an essential factor that affects its performance. Here are the commonly used materials for worm shaft:
- Steel alloys
- Brass alloys
- Bronze alloys
- Aluminum alloys
- Titanium alloys
The advantages of using worm gears include:
- High reduction ratios with a single mesh
- Quiet operation due to the sliding contact
- High efficiency up to 90%
- Self-locking feature
- Compact design
When selecting or customizing a worm shaft, here are some parameters and actual conditions that need to be considered:
- Ratio between the input and output shafts
- Center distance between the worm and gear
- Worm lead angle
- Pressure angle
- Backlash
