Introduction
This Mechanism is basically used to convert
the circular motion of the Worm Gear into
alternate rectilinear motion with the help of
shafts, gear and worm.
The worm transfer the rotary motion to the
gear which, as it revolves, is forced by
connecting-rod to make an alternating traverse
motion. This mechanism is also known as rotary
to linear converter.
Components:
1-Worm gear
2-Shaft
3-Connecting rod
4-Stands
5-T-holder

Worm Gear:
A worm gear is a gear arrangement in which
a worm (which is a gear in the form of a screw)
meshes with a gear. The two elements are also
called the worm screw and worm wheel.
Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can
reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque.
Shaft:
Shaft is basically a solid rod which is used to
transmit power or some sort of motions. It is widely
used component almost in every machine.

Stands:
Here stands are just used to give the support to whole
mechanism.

Working:
In this mechanism the rotatory motion is
provided by the shaft to the worm. Worm slides
upon shaft, but is made to turn with it by means
of a groove cut in shaft, On turning worm-shaft,
rotary motion is transmitted by worm to wheel,
which, as it revolves, is forced by connecting-
rod to make an alternating traverse motion.

Applications:
Elevators:
This mechanism found its application in the
elevators where where some motors with gear
and belts are used to make the lift up and down
Gates and Conveyor Belts :
Typical worm drives can only be turned in one
direction, which means that conveyor belts and security
gates lock-up when not being used and will not run
backwards. Automatic security gates will often adopt two
worm drives, one to open and another to close. This means
the gate can be locked in each direction and cannot be
breached or forced.

Tube-well:
This mechanism some how find its application in tube
well two where the water from the deep is taken out with
the help of rotatory shaft and gear.
Advantages
 It requires less space
 High speed reduction could be secured.
 Worm and worm gear operates silently.
 The output torque was relatively high.

Disadvantages
 The manufacturing cost of worm gear is quite high
 Heavy power losses
 Proper lubrication must be required to reduce the heat.
