About this model

A worm gear 3d model for slow and strong movements. The single start steel worm has a trapezoidal thread with 20 degree flanks modelled as a true helix, 25 mm pitch diameter and a lead angle of 5.7 degrees. Above it a throated worm wheel with 30 teeth wraps around the worm, its brass rim curved to follow the thread and its teeth tilted by the same lead angle, so every tooth sits in a thread groove. One turn of the worm moves the wheel by one tooth, a ratio of 30:1 at a centre distance of 50 mm. Both shafts run in mint pillow block bearings on a yellow base plate, and the worm shaft ends in a key for a motor or crank. The wheel and its shaft form rotor_a, the worm shaft rotor_b. Size 23.6 x 14.4 x 14.3 cm, 29,768 triangles, 2K PBR textures.

Good for

  • Lifting gear or gate drive
  • Slow turntable mechanism
  • Factory or workshop prop
  • Engineering demonstration

Engine import notes

Unity GLB · FBX

Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.

Unreal Engine FBX

Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (0.14 m = 14 cm).

Godot 4 GLB · FBX

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).

Blender BLEND · GLB

Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.

Use it in: UnityUnrealGodotBlender
