What are the primary applications of screw gears?
Screw gears are commonly used in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, printing presses, and various industrial automation equipment where high torque transmission at right angles is required. They excel in applications needing precise positioning and smooth motion transfer between non-intersecting shafts.
How do I determine the correct lubrication for screw gears?
The lubrication requirements depend on operating speed, load, and environmental conditions. For moderate speeds (below 1000 RPM), use EP gear oil with ISO viscosity grade 150-320. High-speed applications require synthetic lubricants with superior thermal stability. Always consult our technical datasheets for specific recommendations based on your operating conditions.
| Material Type | Hardness | Application |
|---|---|---|
| SCM440 | HRC 58-62 | High-load industrial applications |
| S45C | HRC 50-55 | General purpose machinery |
| Stainless Steel | HRC 40-45 | Food processing & corrosive environments |
What maintenance schedule should be followed for screw gears?
Regular maintenance includes lubricant inspection every 250 operating hours, complete lubricant change every 2000 hours, and thorough inspection of tooth wear every 5000 hours. In harsh environments, these intervals should be reduced by 30-50%. Always check for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature rise during routine inspections.

How do I calculate the efficiency of screw gears?
Screw gear efficiency depends on the helix angle, gear ratio, and friction coefficient. Typical efficiency ranges from 70-95%. The formula is: Efficiency (%) = [cos(β) - μ tan(λ)] / [cos(β) + μ cot(λ)] × 100, where β is the pressure angle, μ is the friction coefficient (0.05-0.15 for well-lubricated steel), and λ is the lead angle. Our engineers can provide precise calculations for your specific application parameters.
