CNC Machining of Worm Gears: Precision Solutions for Your Applications
Worm gears are critical components in power transmission systems, requiring exceptional precision and durability. At AOOM, we specialize in CNC machining of worm gears with micron-level accuracy to meet the demanding requirements of industries like automotive, robotics, and industrial machinery.
Why Choose CNC Machining for Worm Gears?
Traditional gear manufacturing methods often struggle with the complex geometry of worm gears. Our 5-axis CNC machining centers overcome these challenges by:
- Producing precise tooth profiles with surface finishes down to Ra .4μm
- Maintaining tight tolerances (±.01mm) for smooth meshing
- Enabling flexible production from prototypes to high-volume batches
Materials We Work With
We machine worm gears from various materials to suit different operational needs:
- Stainless steel (304, 316) for corrosion resistance
- Carbon steel (1045, 414) for high strength applications
- Brass and bronze for reduced friction and noise
- Aluminum alloys for lightweight requirements
