If you are looking for a good worm gear box, may I recommend looking at these:

We're looking at McMaster-Carr worm drive:
Worm (screw) 57545K527
Worm gear 57545K515
These are 12 pitch, 14.5 degree pressure angle, cast iron, and would give a reduction of 30:1.

The am-0917 has impressive ratings for plastic gears. If I read the drawing correctly, it looks like it can only attach to 1 CIM motor. We were hoping to use two.
