Do not assume the worm alone has failed merely because it is the first part removed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 17px;color:#344257;font-size:16px;line-height:1.83\"><strong>What would make this proposal acceptable?<\/strong> Check operation in both directions, limit-stop positions, manual override effort, thrust reactions and lubrication over the environment range. The drawing should state the checks that distinguish an acceptable component from an apparently similar one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 17px;color:#344257;font-size:16px;line-height:1.83\"><strong>Can we change the design instead of copying it?<\/strong> Choose geometry with actuator duty and the safe holding\/braking arrangement in view; do not assume a self-locking worm alone guarantees valve position. A redesign and a like-for-like spare are separate technical scopes requiring separate approval.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 17px;color:#344257;font-size:16px;line-height:1.83\"><strong>What should be sent with the enquiry?<\/strong> Provide valve type, stem torque curve, cycle frequency, drive interface, operating environment and required end-stop positions. Confirm quantities and destination so the proposal covers the actual manufacturing and delivery scope.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin:30px 0 14px;font-size:25px;line-height:1.28;color:#132a40;font-weight:750;border-bottom:2px solid #d7e4ef;padding:0 0 9px\">17 | Send the drawing and evidence for a defined quotation<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 17px;color:#344257;font-size:16px;line-height:1.83\">Separate ratio, fit and operating performance as different questions. A transmission with the expected speed reduction may still have unacceptable axial loading or thermal loss. The enquiry about Worm Screws for Valve Actuators: Load, Travel and Holding should name any unresolved information explicitly and keep the source photographs separate from approved geometric data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 17px;color:#344257;font-size:16px;line-height:1.83\">When no complete original document exists, build a measurement record that includes the sample condition and any wear that may bias a recovered dimension.
