Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Worm Gear is used to transfer movement and power of two alternating axis, it is a unit generally include a Worm Gear and a Worm.
Worm Gears are normally used when a high gear ratio is desired, or again when the shafts are perpendicular to each other. One very important feature of Worm Gear meshes that is often of use is their irreversibility: when a Worm Gear is turned, the meshing spur gear will turn, but turning the spur gear will not turn the Worm Gear. The resulting mesh is 'self-locking', and is useful in achieving mechanisms.

Market perspective
Worm Gear is used to transfer movement and power of two alternating axis, it is a unit generally include a Worm Gear and a Worm.
Worm Gears are normally used when a high gear ratio is desired, or again when the shafts are perpendicular to each other.

The resulting mesh is 'self-locking', and is useful in achieving mechanisms.
Asia-Pacific is the largest producer of Worm Gear, with a market share about 45%, followed by Europe and North America, etc. Framo Morat, Zahnradfertigung OTT, KHK Kohara Gear Industry, CAPT and Designatronics are the top 5 manufacturers of industry, and they had about 30% combined market share.
