Worm gear is always used as the input gear. For the operation of worm gear, torque is applied to the input end of the worm shaft by a driven sprocket or electric motor. The worm and the worm shaft are supported by anti-friction roller bearings. Because of high friction worm gears are very inefficient. There is lot of friction between a worm gear and the gear being driven by the worm gear. When used in high torque applications, the friction causes the wear on the gear teeth and erosion of restraining surface.

Worm gears are the perfect choice when the need is for producing large motor speed Gear reductions in a single step. A single reduction range of 5:1 – 100:1 is considered quite a normal thing for Worm Gears. It can climb up to 127:1 or even more, under special circumstances. Worm Wheel Gears are quite in operation. Using a single-lead worm along with a 100 tooth wheel, can do wonders in a single simple step.
