Cone Drive Gear Reducers
Worm Gear Reducers from Cone Drive set the industry standard for dependability. With innovative technologies such as Conex Helicoidal and true double-enveloping geometries, Cone Drive worm gear speed reducers can not be beat for compactness and shock load.
Cone Drive double-enveloping worm gearing employs a specially machined worm that conforms to the arc of the driven gear. This design increases torque throughput, improves accuracy and extends operating life. Learn More >

Double Enveloping Worm Gear Technology
Double-enveloping geometry allows for much more contact at the worm gear interface than cylindrical designs.

Improved torque throughput allows a smaller reducer to produce the same amount of torque.
