Aerial platform vehicles are an important field of use for new rotary drives. Generally, Aerial platform vehicles require the main engine to have a high safety factor. The high safety of rotary drives (self-locking of worm gears and worms) is an important factor for users to choose them as accessories for high-altitude work platforms; On the other hand, worm gear transmission has a large transmission speed ratio, which not only improves safety but also saves a set of reducers, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
Performance characteristics
(1) Large transmission ratio, compact structure, small volume, and light weight. (2) Smooth transmission and no noise; Low impact and vibration. Because worm gear transmission is equivalent to spiral transmission, with multiple teeth meshing. (3) The contact between the two meshing tooth surfaces is the first, and its load-bearing capacity is much higher than that of helical gear rotation. (4) Has self-locking properties. When the leading angle of the worm is less than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth, the mechanism has self-locking and can achieve reverse self-locking. Therefore, it is widely used in many mechanical equipment that requires self-locking. (5) Capable of withstanding large radial and axial loads as well as strong overturning moments.
