WHAT DOES WORM WHEEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

worm wheel

Worm drive

A worm drive is a gear arrangement in which a worm meshes with a worm gear. The terminology is often confused by imprecise use of the term worm gear to refer to the worm, the worm gear, or the worm drive as a unit. Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or allow higher torque to be transmitted. The image shows a section of a gear box with a worm gear being driven by a worm. A worm is an example of a screw, one of the six simple machines.
