Worm wheels are typically made of metal, such as steel or bronze, due to their high strength and durability.
Yes, plastic can be used for worm wheels in some cases, such as for low-load applications. However, it is not as strong as metal and may wear out more quickly.
The material selection for worm wheels depends on factors such as the load and speed requirements, operating conditions, and cost considerations.
Steel is the most commonly used material for high-load worm wheels, as it has high strength and wear resistance.
Yes, worm wheels can be made from composite materials, such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers, which offer high strength and light weight. However, these materials may be more expensive than traditional metal options.
