Category:

This unit is designed to study the performance of a worm and wheel mechanism. It is a mechanism that contains a circular gear and a rod on which tooth are made. This mechanism is used to convert or transmit circular motion to linear motion or vice versa.

The unit consists of a worm and wheel mechanism. Both are connected with pulleys to apply load and effort forces. To apply forces, cord and hanger are used.
