KHK USA Inc. announces Extensive Line of Premium Metric Worm Gears
Large Selection includes Stainless Steel, Aluminum Bronze and Nylon Gears
Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK ® brand of metric gears,
by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. KHK's large selection of worm gears are very quiet and
provide smooth transmission of power and are suitable for a very wide range of applications
where a large speed reduction is required in a compact space.
KHK worm gear pairs are offered in many modules, numbers of teeth and reduction ratios.
Available materials for worms include carbon steel (S45C), Chromalloy steel (SCM415), and
stainless steel (SUS303). Worm wheels are available in cast iron (FC200), nonferrous metals
such as phosphor bronze and aluminum bronze and engineering plastics such as MC901 nylon.
All KHK worm wheels and most of the worms allow for secondary operations such as opening
of the bore, adding of keyways, adding of tapped holes, and the reduction of the hub diameter or
modification of the shaft diameter to be performed. KHK USA stocks products which have
already had many of these secondary operations completed.
Unique to KHK is the Duplex Worm and Worm Wheel pair. The Duplex Worm pair incorporates
a worm with a variable pitch and a mating wheel. The variable pitch of the worm allows for it to
be positioned in such a fashion that all backlash between the pair is eliminated when the worm is
moved axially.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
