byrdj, notnats, Thank you for your valuable contributions. The mechanism will be driven by hand, hence the high rpm is not a concern.

Thanks notnats, any idea where I can buy those high lead angle worm drives - sizes will have to be really small now I'm going with 2 stage gearing, and the space is tight.

Mandrake, Sreid, Thanks for your replys. I've checked wmberg, all what they have is low lead angle and hence can't be back-driven. As for the high speed motor; it doesn't work for my application as there's no motor. The high speed is not a target by itself. We need to trasform a low speed...

The ones that I saw were worm and wormgear. I was surprised, and if the grinder wasn't of a reputable make, I would have thought it's a bad practice.

I know it's not common nor recommended, but I've seen it done before -if you open the head box of a portable grinder/cutter you'll see the wormgear being used as a driver and the large lead angle worm as the driven. In my application, power is minor -less than 0.05 HP, but the speed increase of...

We're doing a project for a client that has more than 30 years experience in handling Dead Sea brine (10 time more concentrated than normal sea water). We're using caoted carbon steel with CP, which proofs ENC 100% right. We're also using Titanium Gr.2 and 7 wherever the brine temp goes beyond...

I've just posted a thread asking whether dull gray color for the galvanized surface is an indication on problem. If it is, shall we sand blast the surfaces where we have the dull gray color and then apply IOZ (or some other alternative coat)?

Thanks rustbuster, I've placed a technical enquiry at NiDi.org, when they reply to me I'll post the answer.

Would Inconel 600 be suitable for liquid bromine service at boiling temperature (around 60 deg C)?
