Boston Gear L1427-R Worm Gear

Boston Gear L1427-R is a steel, unhardened right-hand worm gear intended for use with Boston Gear worm drives in right-angle, non-intersecting shaft configurations. It features 8 DP (diametral pitch) and a 14.5° lead angle, with a 1.5-inch pitch diameter, delivering a compact, high-torque reduction when paired with compatible Boston Gear worms. The L1427-R designation confirms the worm’s right-hand orientation within Boston Gear’s steel gear-worm lineup, making it suitable for insertable, modular gearbox assemblies in industrial equipment where space is at a premium and a 90-degree drive is required. This gear is typically used as part of a worm gear set to achieve significant speed reductions in small footprints, aligning with Boston Gear’s emphasis on reliable, interchangeable components for power transmission in manufacturing and processing applications.
