Worm Wheel Gears consist of a shaft having helical cuts (threads) on the surface, perpendicular to the axis of rotation

» Similar to spur gear except teeth are “concaved in”

» Designed to transmit motion & power between right angle shafts (90°, non-intersecting), which rotates in the opposite direction

» Worm & worm wheel is the most compact type of gear system

» Smoothest & quietest form of gearing

» Plastic, brass, steel, & aluminum are the materials generally used for manufacturing

» Musical instruments, mechanical gates & conveyors are just a few everyday machines where worm wheels are used

» Worm wheels are also used in machine tools, torsen differentials, indexing equipments, packaging & food processing machinery

Note: in order for wheel & worm gears to work together (mesh) they must have the same thread, diametral pitch (pitch) & pressure angle (PA)
