Precision Gearing Solutions

The basis of Cone Drive's capabilities in Precision Gearing lies with Cone's application knowledge and the inherent characteristics of Double Enveloping worm gearing geometry. Double Enveloping geometry, which puts more teeth in contact at the gear mesh than traditional worm gearing, provides a much larger contact area that yields higher torque carrying capacities and enhanced precision (see table below).

Cone Drive produces gearing with transmission accuracy better than .3 milliradians (1 arc minute). This gearset is ideal for those applications requiring extremely high rates of accuracy in positioning and repeatability. Where absolute zero backlash is required, Cone Drive offers a unique two-piece worm gearset which can provide that level of precision. One segment of the worm is fixed in its bearing set, while the other segment is positioned laterally by adjustable-force pre-load disks, maintaining a consistent clamping force on both sides of the gear, thus removing all backlash.
