A clamp is a fastening device used to hold or secure objects tightly together to prevent movement or separation through the application of inward pressure. Also called a brace, band, or clasp used for strengthening, bracing, or holding things together.
A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel, inserted teeth (called cogs), which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage, through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered a simple machine. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape. Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission. A gear can mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, producing translation instead of rotation.
Worm drives are commonly used in commercial foodservice mixing equipment. A worm drive or worm assembly is a gear arrangement in which a worm (which is a gear in the form of a screw) meshes with a worm gear (which is similar in appearance to a spur gear). The two elements are also called the worm screw and worm wheel which accommodate a directional transfer of energy. Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque. A worm is an example of a screw, one of the "six simple machines". One of the major advantages of worm gear drive units are that they can transfer motion in 90 degrees.
