Common types of stainless steel for sprockets include austenitic, martensitic and duplex stainless steels, which have excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Common materials for worm gears include steel, bronze, aluminum, cast iron, and plastic. The choice depends on factors like load capacity, durability, and cost. Steel worms often pair with bronze gears for optimal performance.
Helical gears are preferred in high-speed applications due to their ability to provide smoother and quieter operation compared to spur gears. The angled teeth of helical gears also result in increased tooth contact, distributing load more evenly and allowing for higher speeds and greater torque transmission.
