A worm gear, also referred to as a zupcanik, is a type of gear in which the driving member, known as the worm, is a helical rotating member with a circular cross-section and no tooth. The driven member, called the worm wheel or gear, features teeth that are engaged with the worm's threads for effective power transmission. This mechanism is commonly utilized in various industrial applications due to its high reduction ratio and compact design.
