# Worm Shaft Bearing Solutions

## Worm Shaft

A worm shaft operates in conjunction with a worm gear, delivering a high transmission ratio. It functions at high speeds under significant axial loads. Bearings for worm shafts must withstand combined loads.

## Operating Features

- High rotational speed
- Significant axial loads
- Sliding friction in meshing
- High heat generation

## Solutions

Thrust ball bearings and tapered roller bearings are used. Bearings with heat-resistant lubricants are applied. It is recommended to use bearings with increased clearance to compensate for thermal expansion.
