Stainless Steel Worm Shafts

Stainless steel worm shafts are considered where corrosion exposure, washdown, product-contact surroundings or another environment makes stainless material relevant. “Stainless” alone is not a complete material specification; grade, strength, treatment, surface condition and the mating-wheel material still need to be defined.Send the exact grade or application constraint with the drawing. Wear, galling, hardness and lubrication considerations should be reviewed with the complete worm/wheel pair rather than inferred from the material name.
