Worm Gear Drive

Worm drives have a unique gear configuration where a screw-like 'worm' meshes with a similar appearance 'worm gear', also known as a worm wheel. This arrangement allows for reduced rotational speed and increased torque transmission. Worm gears, which are part of the six basic simple machines, form the basis of worm drives that can either increase or decrease speed while transmitting force.
