What Are the Differences Between Gear Reducers and Worm Gearboxes?

Gear reducers and worm gear reducers are two common types of reducers. They have significant differences in structure, performance and application fields.

Structural Differences

Gear Reducer:

Gear reducers use spur gears, helical gears, or bevel gears to transmit power, often utilizing multiple stages for higher reduction ratios.

Worm Gearbox:

Worm gearboxes transmit power through a worm and worm wheel, achieving high reduction ratios in a single stage.

Application Scenarios

Gear reducers are ideal for applications requiring high efficiency and precision, such as robotics and automotive transmissions.
Worm gearboxes are ideal for applications requiring self-locking capabilities or low speeds, such as cranes and valve actuators.

Choose the appropriate reducer type according to actual needs. If efficiency and accuracy are your priority, you can choose a gear reducer; if you need a self-locking function or a high reduction ratio, a worm gear reducer is a better choice.
