Worm Gears
Worm gears are specialized gears used in power transmission systems, providing high torque output and smooth, quiet operation. They consist of a worm and a worm wheel, allowing for large reduction ratios in compact spaces. Commonly used in automotive, robotics, and machinery applications, worm gears offer precise control of motion and torque and a self-locking mechanism for enhanced safety. Material selection for worm gears depends on factors such as load capacity, wear resistance, and operating environment.
