In the production lines of various factories, worm gears are widely used in the transmission systems of equipment such as mixers, conveyor belts, cranes, etc., providing the equipment with suitable speed and torque. In some occasions where precise control of position and speed is required, such as CNC machine tools, printing machines, packaging machines, etc., the high-precision transmission characteristics of worm gears can meet the requirements of the equipment.
Worm gears are also used in the transmission systems of vehicles such as cars, trains, and ships. For example, a worm gear mechanism may be used in the automatic transmission of a car to achieve the switching of different gears; in the steering system of a ship, a worm gear is used to convert the rotational motion of the motor into the rotation of the rudder blades to control the heading of the ship.
In wind power generation equipment, worm gears are often used in variable pitch systems to adjust the angle of the fan blades to adapt to different wind speeds and directions and improve power generation efficiency; in solar tracking systems, worm gears can achieve precise tracking of the sun by solar panels and improve the utilization efficiency of solar energy.
