Application Of Worm Screw

  One of the main transmission mechanisms most used in all mechanical projects. The worm offers simple operation and mechanical advantages. The worm meshes with the helical gear in such a way that the helical gear rotates with a single tooth each time the worm rotates completely. Therefore, for the helical gear to rotate completely, the worm must be rotated by the number of teeth of the helical gear. Worm screws are used to transmit 90 ° of force and movement between two vertical axes. In other words, this translates the radial movement of the x axis into the radial movement of the y axis. Features of worm Screw:- - Very low transmission ratios allow significant reductions in tight spaces. - Achieve irreversible mechanisms. That is, you cannot drive in one direction. - The output shaft can be rotated. - As an inconvenience, the worm mechanism generates a great loss of energy and, therefore, experiences a significant loss of performance.
