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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's important to note that worm gears have certain limitations,
such as lower efficiency compared to other gear types, potential
heat generation due to sliding friction, and limited speed
capabilities. Therefore, worm gears are typically used in specific
applications within industrial robots where their unique
characteristics are advantageous, rather than for all mechanical
functions within the robot's overall system.

Company Profile
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.
With the quality policy of "scientific and technological
innovation, quality first, being first-class firm and customer‘s
satisfaction", we have won the trust of well-known domestic and
abroad enterprises with stable and excellent quality. It is
