Product Description

A worm gear system consists of a worm and worm wheel. The worm resembles a screw, which meets with a worm wheel, as shown in the photo. When rotational power is applied to the worm, it rotates against the wheel and transfers power to the worm wheel. The system is designed so that the worm can easily turn the gear, but the gear cannot turn the worm. In some designs, the friction between the gear and the worm holds the worm in place. This feature can be very useful in some applications.
