Worm gear reducers GN 3975 can transmit high torque despite their very compact dimensions. They can readily be used for a multitude of applications, such as incline adjustments or to change the direction of shaft rotation.

The numerous fastening holes allow for simple mounting in any orientation or position. The parallel keys can take any angular positions.

Depending on the gear ratio, there may be no static self-braking between the worm screw and worm wheel, meaning that the worm wheel can be turned out of a resting state by a torque coming from the output end.

Assembly Instructions

Do not exert any forces onto the housing or into the bearings during assembly. Use of the threaded holes d₈ in the shaft is recommended. The use of a corresponding coupling is recommended to compensate for manufacturing-related shaft offsets and runout tolerances as well as for damping vibrations and shocks.
