Duplex Worms Gear
High-precision duplex worms with superior strength. A range of backlash values can be obtained by moving the worm axially.
Duplex Worms Gear
A duplex or dual lead worm is a worm gear(Duplex Worms Gear) set where the two flanks are manufactured with slightly different modules and diameter quotients. As a result, different lead angles on both tooth profiles are obtained so that the tooth thickness continuously increases all over the worm length while the gap between two threads decreases. This allows control of backlash.
At the worm wheel, the different modules result in different addendum modification coefficients and rolling circle diameters at both flanks. Because of this, the profiles are other at the front and the rear side. The thickness of each tooth and the tooth gaps remain constant at the wheel’s circumference.
Backlash adjustment occurs by shifting the worm axially, positioning the section with the required tooth thickness in contact with the wheel to achieve the desired backlash (Fig. 1). This method allows for easy backlash adjustment to any desired value during gear mounting. Even worn gears can be delicately and continuously readjusted without altering the tooth contact or causing meshing interference.
Besides the above-explained duplex method, there are various possibilities to adjust the backlash of worm gears:
- variation of center distance by rotating an eccentric hub, in which the worm shaft and the worm gear wheel are cradled
- axial shifting of a conical worm (fig. 2a)
- division of the worm in two halves (fig. 2b), rotated or shifted relative to each other. (system Ott)
- division of the wheel in two disks (fig. 2c), turned close to each other.

However, all these methods demonstrate substantial disadvantages:
- adjustments and readjustments are interfering with the geometrically accurate meshing.
- They shift the contact profile zone and change its form and size.
- With this, they decrease the load-carrying capacity and deteriorate efficiency.
- Each adjustment causes a tremendous amount of start-up wear.
- The dangers of improper assembly and destruction of the worm gear set are incredible.
Duplex gearings do not create this kind of problem.
They always ensure geometrically accurate teeth contact and allow very delicate backlash adjustment. The evolved contact area, load-carrying capacity, and actual efficiency influence the performance. Furthermore, duplex teeth, designed as involute gears, remain unaffected by modifications in the center distance, such as those caused by worm shaft deflections.
Point of caution during assembly
Applications
Duplex worms primarily prevent backlash, which can be harmful, by maintaining repeated high precision positioning in both directions, protecting against impulse-loaded damage, and ensuring alternating contact flanks. Typical applications include rotary and tilting tables, milling machines, and presses.
