Re: Worm Gear Gearbox

Worm gears have their place, but I would strongly discourage their use on a drive train if you're just looking to reduce your gear ratio. I'd definitely like to see justification addresing the losses, which we can all admit are several times larger than spur gears.

To be honest I have seen a design that could work but it is really weird. It's the triple crown of complexity because it combines a worm gear, a cone drive, and a differential to increase the horsepower of a motor. The only disadvantage is speed is lost.
