I need to know which gear has a better power transmission efficiency/
1. Worm gear or the Spur gear and why
as well there's a design for a device that must take power from a high speed but low torque source and deliver it to a low speed, high torque shaft. the speed reduction can't be done wtih just a single gear. it has to be a combined system. which gear should be on what. should the worm set be on the low torque , high speed end of the reduction system or the high torque low speed why?
i think that it should be on the high torque because the worm gear itself can transfer high torque and have less stress on the gears while the spur gear set would cause lots of friction between the teeth.
thanks in advance for your help
