Introducing our new Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox! This gearbox utilizes a 30:1 ratio worm-drive reduction for applications that require extremely slow and smooth rotational motion. The worm-drive design not only minimizes backlash but also eliminates back-driving the gearmotor so a position can be held even when power is not applied. The precision ground 3/8” stainless steel output shaft is supported by dual 3/8” ABEC 5 ball bearings to support a load from any orientation. The ¼” ABS plastic and aluminum structure provides a rigid framework without adding unnecessary weight and is easily mounted to any flat surface by utilizing the base mounting tabs. We offer a wide range of compatible gearmotors to choose from - both our Precision Gearmotors and our Standard 3-12V Gearmotors will work with this gearbox (motor sold separately). The Vertical Shaft Worm-Drive Gearbox is perfect for turn-tables, time-lapse systems and low-speed applications that require high precision and torque. Without a gearmotor, the system weighs only 0.375 lbs (5.9oz).

Mounting holes are .140” thru holes.

The worm is constructed of stainless steel.
The worm gear that it meshes with is constructed of 1/8” Delrin.

Shown with a Smooth Hub Pulley.

Attach the pulley with 5-40 x 1/2” Pan Head Phillps Screws.

This setup works great for time-lapse applications.

Weight (no gearmotor): 0.375 lbs (5.9oz)

Motor RPM required = 1 / (minutes per rotation desired / 30)
Example:
1 / (10 minutes per rotation / 30) = 3 RPM motor needed to achieve 10 minutes per rotation (at max speed)
