    Question

    The type of gear used to transmit rotary motion between non-parallel and non-intersecting shaft is

    A.

    Spur gear

    B.

    Helical gear

    C.

    Bevel gear

    D.

    Worm gear

    Correct option is D

    Design: Consists of a worm (screw-like gear) meshing with a worm wheel (helical gear).
    Shaft Orientation: Typically transmits motion between shafts at 90° angles that are non-intersecting.
    Advantages:
    High gear ratio (e.g., 20:1 to 300:1) in a compact space.
    Smooth and quiet operation.
    Self-locking capability (worm can drive the wheel, but wheel cannot reverse-drive the worm).
