Worm gear 3d model
The worm gear carries the differential gearing, which protects the vehicle against rollback. An example from around 1960 was the Peugeot 404.

In the 1920s the Stutz firm used them on its cars to have a lower floor than its competitors, the gear was located on the bottom. In the 1910s they were common on trucks to gain the most clearance on muddy roads the worm gear was placed on top. They took advantage of the location of the gear being at either the very top or very bottom of the differential crown wheel. Worm drives have been used in a few automotive rear-axle final drives (though not the differential itself). Rough seas could apply substantial force to the rudder, often requiring several men to steer the vessel-some drives had two large-diameter wheels so up to four crewmen could operate the rudder. Prior to its introduction, a rope drum drive controlled the rudder. In the era of sailing ships, the introduction of a worm drive to control the rudder was a significant advance. Worm gears are used on many lift/elevator and escalator-drive applications due to their compact size and the non-reversibility of the gear. In addition, milling heads and rotary tables are positioned using high-precision duplex worm drives with adjustable backlash. Worm drives are used in presses, rolling mills, conveying engineering, mining industry machines, on rudders, and worm drive saws. Small electric motors are generally high-speed and low-torque the addition of a worm drive increases the range of applications that it may be suitable for, especially when the worm drive's compactness is considered. Worm drives are a compact means of substantially decreasing speed and increasing torque. This aids vehicle control and reduces wear that could cause difficulties in steering precisely. Further worm drive development led to recirculating ball bearings to reduce frictional forces, which transmitted some steering force to the wheel. The use of a worm screw reduced this effect. In early 20th century automobiles prior to the introduction of power steering, the effect of a flat or blowout on one of the front wheels tended to pull the steering mechanism toward the side with the flat tire. Whether a worm and gear is self-locking depends on the lead angle, the pressure angle, and the coefficient of friction. Worm gear configurations in which the gear cannot drive the worm are called self-locking. If a multistart worm (multiple spirals) is used then the ratio reduces accordingly and the braking effect of a worm and worm-gear may need to be discounted, as the gear may be able to drive the worm. This can be an advantage when it is desired to eliminate any possibility of the output driving the input. Unlike with ordinary gear trains, the direction of transmission (input shaft vs output shaft) is not reversible when using large reduction ratios, due to the greater friction involved between the worm and worm-wheel, when usually a single start (one spiral) worm is used. It is also known as globoidal wormgearing.

ĭouble-enveloping wormgearing comprises enveloping worms mated with fully enveloping wormgears. Īn enveloping (hourglass) worm has one or more teeth and increases in diameter from its middle portion toward both ends. This type of gearing can support the highest loading. The final type are double-throated worm gears, which have both gears throated. The second are single-throated worm gears, in which the worm wheel is throated.

These don't have a throat, or groove, machined around the circumference of either the worm or worm wheel. There are three different types of gears that can be used in a worm drive. A double bass features worm gears as tuning mechanisms Types
