Product Description
Ball or roller bearings are used to support both end of the worm gear and are adjustable to remove end or side play from the worm gear, the cross shaft is supportedby bushing, needle bearings or a combination of the two, and provision is madeto control the worm and cross shaft clearance, all parts are enclosed in a casthousing that is partly filled with lubricant, seals are used to prevent theentry of dirt or the loss of lubricant, Provision is made to bolt the steering gear housing to a rigid area usually the frame.
Steering Worm Shaft with Steering ballnut and worm assembly
The production of nuts for your screw and nut assembly poses equally stringent quality requirements. Our own toolbuilding shop is evidence of our flexibility and commitment in the service of our customers – lead screw taps even in special forms are no obstacle, at least not for us. Complicated forms on screws or nuts in conjunction with a high accuracy requirement present as little of a problem as galvanization
The ball screw assembly steering gears consists of a screw and a nut, each with matching helical grooves, and balls which roll between these grooves between the nut and the screw when the nut or screw is rotating. The balls are deflected by the deflector into the ball return system of the nut and they travel through the return system to the opposite end of the ball nut in a continuous path, and exit from the ball return system into the ball screw and nut thread raceways continuously to recirculate in a closed circuit.
The ball nut assembly: Ball nut determines the load and life of the ball screw assembly.
The ratio of the number of threads in the ball nut circuit to the number Of threads on the ball screw determines how much sooner the ball nut will reach Fatigue failure (wear out) than the ball screw will. Ball nuts are manufactured With 2 types of return systems.
We can produce it according to your drawing,even with old samples! mainly for racing teams

What is a Worm Gearbox and How Does It Work?
A worm gearbox, also known as a worm gear reducer, is a mechanical device used to transmit rotational motion and torque between non-parallel shafts. It consists of a worm screw and a worm wheel, both of which have helical teeth. The worm screw resembles a threaded cylinder, while the worm wheel is a gear with teeth that mesh with the worm screw.
The working principle of a worm gearbox involves the interaction between the worm screw and the worm wheel. When the worm screw is rotated, its helical teeth engage with the teeth of the worm wheel. As the worm screw rotates, it translates the rotational motion into a perpendicular motion, causing the worm wheel to rotate. This perpendicular motion allows the worm gearbox to achieve a high gear reduction ratio, making it suitable for applications that require significant speed reduction.
One of the key features of a worm gearbox is its ability to provide a high gear reduction ratio in a compact design. However, due to the sliding nature of the meshing teeth, worm gearboxes may exhibit higher friction and lower efficiency compared to other types of gearboxes. Therefore, they are often used in applications where efficiency is not the primary concern but where high torque and speed reduction are essential, such as conveyor systems, elevators, automotive steering systems, and certain industrial machinery.
