ServoCity Vertical Shaft Worm Drive Gearbox

Introducing our new Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox! This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that require extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-driving the gearmotor so a position can be held even when power is not applied. The precision ground 3/8" stainless steel output shaft is supported by dual 3/8" ABEC 5 ball bearings to support a load from any orientation. The ¼" ABS plastic and aluminum structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is easily mounted to any flat surface by utilizing the base mounting tabs. We offer a wide range of compatible gearmotors to choose from - both our Precision Gearmotors and our Standard 3-12V Gearmotors will work with this gearbox (motor sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-speed applications that require high precision and torque. Without a gearmotor, the system weighs only 0.375 lbs (5.9oz).

Looks great, but it seems to be a little bit noisy..is it the recording or it is actually loud?

[ServoCity]

@Rastinfilm It sounds louder than it actually is. We tested it with a decibel meter and found that a Precision motor runs about 38dB (fridge humming). With a Standard 3-12V motor it's at 45-50 dB.

[ServoCity]

@Rastinfilm Thanks for the question. Hope the answer provided is helpful!

[Rastinfilm]

@ServoCity yes, precise answer, thanks.The only question is whether this noise level stays the same at all the speed that we can achive with the contollers?

[ServoCity]

@Rastinfilm The exact noise level will depend on the RPM of the gearmotor used, the powering voltage, and the load weight. It will be quieter with a low RPM, low voltage and less load. Thanks for the questions! You can also call our tech department at 620-221-0123 for information, they'd be happy to help.

WOW, you guyz continue to amaze me with your ingenuity and EXTREME value. This is a low speed mechanism, but how many rpm can one expect to achieve at the output shaft before the integrity of the machine is compromised? Thanks Pete in TX

[ServoCity]

@Slacknutz Thanks for the compliment. I forwarded your question on to our tech department...they aren't quite sure what you are asking. Is it possible for you to give them a call at 620-221-0123? If not, can you private message me your email address and I'll put them in direct contact with you. Thanks!

[ServoCity]

@TedRobotBuilder The max load will depend on the gearmotor used and application. The worm gear can handle up to 150 in-lb.

[TedRobotBuilder]

Product link would be nice. What is the max load (in/lb) ?

[ServoCity]

@weaponeer Thanks for the compliment Gary, glad you're happy with the product! We look foward to seeing your rotating table in action! :)
