Worm Gears
Worm Gear Features
  • Worm Gear FeaturesWatertight housings sealed with "O" rings and gaskets.
  • Ball or tapered roller bearings ensure a high degree of reliability and mechanical efficiency.
  • For larger gears over 18,000 in-lbs, the tapered roller bearings handle high axial thrusts transmitted to the body by the worm screw.
  • Sealed adjustment screws prevent grease from leaking out and debris from penetrating the housing for buried and submersible applications.
  • Self locking and high efficiency.
  • Splined adapter bushings are used to aid in the customization of each gear to fit all shapes of valve stems faster and with reduced cost.
  • Handwheels are keyed to the input shafts for a tight, firm fit.
  • Handwheels are cast ductile iron in lieu of fabricated tube. This better supports clamp-on chain wheel operators and assists in the ease of operation due to increased mass.
  • 410 stainless input shafts to protect against rust corrosion.
  • Highly visible indicators assist to view open versus closed orientation.
  • Factory tapped mounting bracket holes accommodate field installation of limit switches, beacon style indicators, etc.
  • NAMUR designed indicator positioning slots accommodate direct mounting of switches.
  • Lubrication for life ensures maintenance free service
  • Optional locking devices available.
