Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details GFC's heavy-duty worm gear units, specifically the S 200.1 to S 315.1 range, designed for severe industrial conditions. GFC is known for precision engineering and offers a comprehensive product lifecycle from development to implementation.
Design and Specifications: The worm gear units comply with DIN 3976, featuring a ZK flank shape. Worm shafts are made from case-hardened 16MnCrS5, and worm wheels use wear-resistant special bronze. Lubrication is achieved with fully synthetic oil, enhancing efficiency and reducing maintenance. The housing is made from cast iron with optional spheroidal cast iron, and corrosion protection is up to C4 level as per ISO 12944-2. They are equipped with quality roller bearings and Viton radial seals for durability in harsh environments.
Operational Features: Units can operate in both rotational directions with various mounting positions. They are available with 10 standard transmission ratios per size, with custom options on request. Designed for high transmission ratios (up to i = 100) and compact power transmission, they offer low noise and high overload capacity due to uniform torque transmission.
Selection Guidelines: Selection is based on mechanical and thermal stress calculations. Mechanical stress is calculated as Tmech requ. = fB x fH x Ta, and thermal stress as Tth requ. = fE x fT x fL x Ta. Factors for load, starting frequency, operating time, ambient temperature, and service position are provided in tables.
Efficiency and Self-locking: Efficiency increases with speed, angle, and gearing size. Starting efficiency is lower than service efficiency due to initial lubricant film formation. Static and dynamic self-locking capabilities are discussed, with recommendations for additional braking systems if needed.
Performance Data: Detailed performance data for various transmission ratios and operational conditions are provided, with maximum output torques specified for different scenarios.
Additional Components: Motor flanges, output flanges, torque reaction levers, and covers are available upon request.
Specifications and Design: The document outlines the design and specifications of various gear types, including SVA, SVAF, SVAD, and SVAS, each with unique features such as shrink-on disks, torque arms, and flanges. It emphasizes precise engineering and the use of 3D CAD systems for concept development and component calculations using FEM methods.
Engineering and Development: GFC focuses on developing drive systems tailored to customer needs, leveraging extensive design experience and technical solutions. The process includes feasibility studies, prototype testing, and validation of actuation concepts under realistic conditions.
Testing and Quality Assurance: GFC conducts rigorous testing, including lifetime and wear tests, to ensure product reliability. The company adheres to EN ISO 9001 standards and employs lean manufacturing principles to optimize production processes.
Industrialization: The document discusses the challenges of maintaining consistent quality and cost-effectiveness in production. GFC collaborates with partners for surface engineering and offers services for industrializing gearbox and drive system manufacturing.
Dual Stage Worm Gear Units: GFC provides dual-stage worm gear units for significant speed reduction, offering various sizes and transmission ratios. Customers are invited to contact GFC for additional components and customization options.

Worm gear units Worm gear units General information on worm gear units: Due to their exceptional characteristics, worm gear units are in­ dispensable for a multitude of applications. Worm gear units are the first item to be chosen when implementing high transmission ratios (up to i = 100) within one gear stage. With reference to the transmitted power, worm gear units are the most compact gear type. Due to the line-shaped contact of aligned tooth flanks and the simultaneous alignment of several tooth pairs, the worm gear­ ing is characterised by a uniform, vibration and shock damping force or...

Worm gear units Worm gear units Efficiency rating The gear unit efficiency increases at rising running speed on splin­ ing, incrementing rising angle and gearing size. Furthermore, the flank shape, the material combination, the lubrication and the surface properties of tooth flanks have a decisive impact on the efficiency of splining. Starting efficiency rating The lubricant film between the tooth flanks only appear after gearing start at sliding motion. For this reason, the starting effi­ ciency  A is always lower than the service efficiency , whereby when starting at load a higher torque is...
