When a worm gear is used, a compact and high speed reduction ratio can be obtained as compared with spur gears. The latter type is also called "throated worm gear". The other is the "drum-shaped worm gear" which is a pair consisting of a drum-shaped worm and a worm wheel. One is a cylindrical worm that meshes with a worm wheel as a pair to form the "cylindrical worm gear". There are roughly two types of worm gears.
Its history is so old that its existence is described by Archimedes in around 250 BC. The set of a worm and worm wheel is called a worm gear. Even though it is compact it can provide a large speed reduction.Ī worm gear is a thread cut into a round bar, and a worm wheel is a gear that meshes with the worm at a shaft angle of 90 degrees. A worm gear is a type of staggered shaft gear that transmits motion between two shafts that are neither intersecting nor parallel.
