A crown gear has teeth that engage with other bevel gears. The teeth stick out at right angles to the face of the wheel. A worm gear is a screw that attaches to a wheel by engaging teeth along the wheel. As the screw turns, the wheel also moves and the drive reduces rotational speed and allows for higher torque. Worm gears are used when a project requires large gear reductions.

What is the working principle of worm gears in sand mullers?

Sand mullers break up sand after it has been used in molds to facilitate sandcasting. By effectively breaking up the sand, it can be reused. The worm on a motor or on the "driven" side of the device will engage with a worm gear. The worm rotates continuously, and the spiral cut gears "worm" their way "along" the axis of the gear. The worm gear (or spur gear) engages with the worm and rotates continuously as well. Also, the worm gear will translate the rotary motion of the worm by 90 degrees. It is fairly easy to see how the unit works if you look at some pictures or drawings. Hey, how about some animation or video? Got a couple of links.


What is different between spur gear and worm gear?

Spur gears give 180 degree drive, and worm gears give 90 degree drive.
