Using worms works best with other gears. The inherent gear reduction of the
worm gear is pretty good. I use the worm gear as a "work device" or
"business drive".....using it together with other gears to compliment the
overall gear train. So I'm really not sure how to answer your question. I
would suggest to consider the worm gear as an end output and not as a single
component of a gear reduction scheme. Although you could certainly use it in
that fashion.
Am I answering that correctly? Or am I addressing your question properly?
