Hollow Shaft Rotary Actuator Worm Gear Mechanism Large-Caliber
Hollow Rotary Platform
Worm Gear Mechanism: Worm gear systems consist of a worm (a
screw-like gear) and a worm wheel (a gear with teeth). When the
worm rotates, it engages with the teeth of the worm wheel,
converting the input motion into rotary output motion. Worm gears
provide high gear reduction ratios and are known for their torque
multiplication capability.
Hollow Shaft Design: Worm gear hollow rotary actuators are designed
with a central opening or hollow shaft. This hollow shaft enables
the passage of cables, wires, or other mechanical elements through
the center of the actuator, facilitating integration with other
systems or components.
Compact Size: Worm gear mechanisms are inherently compact due to
their helical shape. The worm gear design allows for a high gear
reduction ratio in a relatively small form factor, making these
actuators suitable for applications with limited space.
High Gear Reduction Ratio: Worm gear hollow rotary actuators can
achieve high gear reduction ratios in a single stage. This allows
for precise control of rotary motion and enables the actuator to
handle high torque loads.
Self-Locking Capability: Worm gear systems exhibit self-locking
characteristics, which means that the load cannot drive the
actuator backward. This feature is advantageous in applications
where the actuator needs to maintain position without relying on
external brakes or locking mechanisms.
Smooth and Quiet Operation: Worm gear actuators operate with
reduced noise and vibration, providing smooth and quiet motion.
This characteristic is beneficial for applications where noise
reduction is important, such as in robotics or machinery.
Wide Range of Applications: Worm gear hollow rotary actuators find
application in various industries, including robotics, automation,
material handling, and more. They are commonly used for tasks such
as rotary motion control, positioning, indexing, and continuous
rotation.
