The worm-gear design involves one helical gear, the teeth of which form segments of a helix, and another component that resembles a screw. The screw-like component is known as a worm, and its threads typically form a complete helix. This worm is typically used to drive the gear, which can provide a great deal of torque. In most cases, attempting to use the gear to turn the worm will result in the teeth locking. Both of these basics of worm gear-design can be exploited in the tuning knobs of stringed instruments, which provide the torque necessary to pull the strings taught and then automatically lock in place to keep them that way
