KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of metric worm gears, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. KHK’s large selection of worm gears are very quiet and provide smooth transmission of power and are suitable for a very wide range of applications where a large speed reduction is required in a compact space.

  • Large Selection includes Stainless Steel, Aluminum Bronze and Nylon

2022 02 03 103639KHK worm gear pairs are offered in many modules, numbers of teeth and reduction ratios. Available materials for worms include structural carbon steel (S45C, etc.), structural alloy steel (SCM415, etc.), stainless steel and cast iron. Worm wheels are available in cast iron (FC200, etc.), nonferrous metals such as phosphor bronze and specialty bronze (nickel bronze, aluminum bronze, etc.), and engineering plastics such as MC Nylon.

All KHK worm wheels and most of the worms allow for secondary operations such as opening the bore, adding of keyways, adding of tapped holes, and the reduction of the hub diameter or shaft diameter to be performed. KHK USA stocks products which have already had some of these secondary operations completed.

Worm gears are one type of gears that transmit motion between non-intersecting and non-parallel shafts. Their shaft angles are generally 90 degrees. There are roughly two types of worm gears. One is a worm in cylindrical form meshing with a worm wheel, the pair comprising a “cylindrical worm gear,” and the other an hourglass form worm and its mating worm gear called “hourglass worm gear.”

Large Selection includes Stainless Steel, Aluminum Bronze and Nylon

KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of metric screw gears, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. KHK’s large selection of screw gears are suitable for a very wide range of applications, including conveyors with light loads and are offered in many materials, modules and numbers of teeth.

2021 10 28 213241KHK stock screw gears are available in economical S45C carbon steel, as well as rust-resistant SUS303 stainless steel suitable for food machinery. Corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant CAC702 (formerly AlBC2) aluminum bronze are also available.

The KHK catalogue of stock screw gears also includes light-weight MC Nylon screw gears that can be used without lubrication. Other plastic materials are available, including Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), which has excellent abrasion resistance. A single piece order is acceptable and will be produced as a custom-made gear.

Screw gears are crossed helical gears with helix angles of 45 degrees. As such, they are the only helical gear pairing that can be used in either a left hand - left hand combination or a left hand - right hand combination. When used in a left hand - left hand combination, the gears operate with non-parallel and non-intersecting axes. In this fashion they operate in a similar manner to miter or bevel gears. When used in a left hand - right hand combination, they act like traditional helical gear pairs.

All KHK screw gears allow for secondary operations such as opening the bore, adding of keyways, adding of tapped holes, and the reduction of the hub diameter to be performed. The catalogue includes products which have already had some of these secondary operations completed. These products are identified by a "J" in their part number and they are available within 10 calendar days.
