Worm/Worm shafts along with a worm wheel can provide
fine adjustment as well as a high gear reduction ratio. Another
benefit is non-movement once power is eliminated.
These systems are used in many applications such as Robotics,
Aircraft, Medical etc.
Standard sizes available as well as custom design assisted systems.
Pinion Shafts by Nordex
The main drive member of a gear train assembly is the pinion shaft. Applied power is transferred from the pinion shaft to the rest of the gear assembly. Nordex manufacturers these in a one-piece construction to increase the ability to handle higher torque that may applied versus a two piece construction.
A helical Gear set used as a registration drive.
The device shown can fine adjust relative position and rotation of the drive element to the driven element. This can be accomplished at rest or while rotating. This device can be used with or without an integral clutch mechanism.

This is a partial gear, light weight material with mounting holes to attach to a hub.
There is a curved slot for adjustment to assist in timing.
This type of gear would be used in Robotics, Optics/Medical, Defense.
Call Nordex with your Custom Gear requirements.
To minimize the possibility of the belt slipping and to reduce backlash a minimum of 6 contact teeth is recommended. A smaller drive pulley allows higher torque and resolution.
Incorrect drive ratio can cause havoc: stalling, overheating, motor failure, incorrect function and subsequent damage.

A coupling, in simplest terms, is a device that connects different objects together. Couplings do much more than that, however, in myriad applications in many industries. They connect so that the motion of one object can be transmitted to the other directly or differentially, and this can be done through electrical, hydraulic, or – in the case of Nordex – mechanical means.
Internal Gears provide the possibility of a compact design. They can provide higher contact and drive ratios at a shorter center distance.
A segment/partial internal gear can be used in applications such as a camera mount. To allow for axial movement this gear can be machined to function as a spline.
A coupling is used to connect two shafts together with the purpose of transmitting power. Couplings provide for misalignment, reduce transmission of shock loads, protect against overloads, alter vibration characteristics, connect driving and driven part, slips when overload occurs.
There are many different types of couplings to choose from depending on your application.
Lightening holes are holes that are added to components to lighten the weight. These can be made in several shapes: round, oval, rectangular, spokes. The holes are evenly spaced to facilitate balancing.
Other ways to lighten weight: alternate material, one piece construction ex. pulley/shaft.
Popular design in Robotics, Medical, Hand Tools, Drones.
Gear teeth are designed to engage without slipping. Providing smooth rotation from one gear to the other.
The drive gear attaches to the drive mechanism. The driven gear is attached to the load shaft.
Intermediate gears in a sequence of gears may be idlers; used to change direction and speed of rotation.
