Re: COTS & Custom Worm Gearboxes
Worm drives are backdrivable, but it takes some torque. The four/two start worms will backdrive pretty quickly after being worn in, and if you load a 1 start worm enough, it'll back drive. I'd be willing to guess that this is for some surgical tubing launcher thing, and my suggestion is to use a transmission from a dewalt drill (remember those?). They don't backdrive.
