Applications of Worm Gears
Tuning Instruments – most guitars, basses, banjos and other stringed instruments use a worm gear for the tuning mechanism to work. The gear’s force reduction is the main reason for this, coupled with the locking capability that keeps the desired string tightness in place. This type of worm gear is different to most as you can tune both up and down; whereas most worm gears can only be turned in one direction.
Elevators/Lifts – worm gears can often be found in the machinery of common elevators/lifts because of their compact size and non-reversible properties. As the gear/load cannot transmit motion back through the worm/hoist, using this type of gear can act as a secondary braking system. This means the load cannot free fall and load speed is easily regulated.
Torsen Differentials – Large trucks or off-road vehicles, such as the Hummer, often need to deliver different amounts of torque to the each wheel, depending on what action the vehicle is performing. For example, wheels need to spin at different speeds whilst turning a corner as the inside wheels travel a shorter distance. A vehicle’s Torsen differential will handle this movement via a combination of worms and worm gears that separate each individual wheel’s performance.
Gates and Conveyor Belts – Typical worm drives can only be turned in one direction, which means that conveyor belts and security gates lock-up when not being used and will not run backwards. Automatic security gates will often adopt two worm drives, one to open and another to close. This means the gate can be locked in each direction and cannot be breached or forced.
Holroyd Precision’s Worm Gear Grinding Stations

Holroyd’s WG Grinding Stations
Holroyd’s new WG grinding stations include the esteemed ‘SMART’ probe and self-correction CNC technology. With this technology, users have the ability to grind precision worm shafts in sizes ranging from 3mm to 500mm in diameter whilst producing thread lengths of up to 1600mm. Already leading the market and holding the world record for worm gear precision (98% efficiency), Holroyd continue to improve their products and services and maintain this incredibly high standard with the new WG series.
