A worm is for reducing speed. For a worm gear set, a worm can easily turn a gear, but a gear cannot turn a worm. This is because the angle on the worm is so shallow that when the gear tries to turn it, the friction between the gear and the worm holds the worm in place. Therefore, a worm gear is commonly used in machines, like conveyor systems. Besides, worm gears are a compact, efficient means of decreasing speed and increasing power. So they are ideal for small electric motors.
1. Features:
(1) Large speed reductions.
(2) Our worm gears are quiet and smooth in operation.
