Industrial Worm Gearbox / Gear Reducer (Cutaway version)

cults3d

**PART OF MY INDUSTRIAL GEARBOX COLLECTION** This fully 3D printable industrial worm gearbox / gear reducer is a training tool featuring a cutaway design and a gear ratio of 1:30. Worm gears are comprised of two primary components: the "worm" and the "worm gear". The worm itself has a screw-like shape, rotating 360 degrees to rotate one tooth on the worm gear. Worm gear reducers are commonly used in applications requiring high speed reduction within confined spaces. An added benefit is that back driving is nearly impossible. No additional hardware is required for this gearbox design. **UPDATE 7-16-2018** I've incorporated a cap that can convert the gearbox to a non-cutaway model, visible in the fourth image as green parts. To achieve this non-cutaway design, print the two files designated with "NON-CUTAWAY".
