Industrial Robot Worm Gear Swing Drive Torque Transmission Worm Gear Systen For robot Applications

Worm gears are a type of gear system commonly used in industrial robots for specific applications that require high gear reduction, self-locking capabilities, and compact design. Here's how worm gears are utilized in industrial robots:

1. High Gear Reduction: Worm gears provide a high gear reduction ratio, meaning they can convert high-speed input rotation into low-speed, high-torque output rotation. This is beneficial in industrial robots where precise and controlled movements are required, particularly in applications such as robotic arms, grippers, or other mechanisms that need to manipulate heavy loads.
2. Self-Locking: One significant advantage of worm gears is their self-locking nature. The unique configuration of a worm gear, with a screw-like gear called the worm and a toothed wheel called the worm wheel, allows the system to resist backdriving. This means that the worm gear can hold its position without the need for additional mechanisms or brakes, enhancing the safety and stability of the robot.
3. Compact Design: Worm gears offer a compact and space-saving design. The worm gear system achieves a high gear reduction ratio in a single stage, allowing for a more compact mechanical arrangement. This is advantageous in industrial robots where space is limited or where a smaller form factor is desirable.
4. High Torque Transmission: Worm gears can transmit high torque due to the large contact area between the worm and the worm wheel. This makes them suitable for applications in industrial robots that require high force output, such as lifting heavy objects or exerting substantial pressure.
5. Inherent Gearbox: The worm gear system acts as an integrated gearbox by providing both speed reduction and torque multiplication. This eliminates the need for external gearboxes in certain robot applications, simplifying the overall mechanical design and reducing the number of components.
6. Backlash Reduction: The meshing of the worm and worm wheel in a worm gear system tends to minimize backlash. This can improve the accuracy and repeatability of robotic movements, particularly in tasks that require precise positioning or fine adjustments.

Our company was formerly known as Changsha Double Star Gear Industrial Co., Ltd, which was established in 1994. It is a directly affiliated university-run enterprise founded by Central South University Professor Zeng Tao, the leading expert on spiral bevel gears in China. It was later renamed as Changsha Senjie Gear Co., Ltd (abbreviated as "CSG") in 2016. CSG is a production R&D base specializing in professional design, reserch, manufacture and sales of high-quality small module spiral bevel gears and high reduction hypoid gears and cylindrical gears. In 2023, Hunan Dinghan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. was established as a specialized international export business department. CSG has strong scientific research and development capabilities and is also equipped a full set of advanced equipment including seven-axis five-linkage CNC spiral bevel gear grinding machines and gear milling machines. By making the best use of the scientific and technological achievements and equipment of the Gear Research Institute of Central South University, machanical processing, heat treatment and testing. We have developed high-quality products featuring high reduction, high speed, heavy load, low noise and less teeth for users.
