Post subject:  Can a sprocket be directly mounted on the output shaft of a worm gear reducer?

Hello everyone,

I plan to directly mount a sprocket on the output shaft of a worm gearbox (https://www.oyostepper.es/category-190-b0-Reductor-sinf%C3%ADn-corona.html) to drive a chain conveyor mechanism. The torque calculation meets the requirements, but the sprocket will generate a certain radial force.

I'm unsure if the output bearing of the worm gear reducer can withstand this. I don't want to add any additional support structure. Therefore, I would like to ask experienced individuals here: is it appropriate to directly connect a sprocket to the output end of a worm gear reducer? What range should the radial load be controlled within? What issues should be considered for long-term use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I found this after arguing with a friend about our exact age difference, which somehow turned into a whole debate. Instead of guessing, I used https://calculator-age.org. What I liked was how fast it gave a clear answer without making me think too hard. It’s one of those small tools that ends silly arguments instantly.
