Worm gear system with 2 input motors?

In summary, a worm gear system with 2 input motors uses a worm gear to mesh with a gear or wheel, resulting in a perpendicular rotation and increased torque. Its advantages include high power output and self-locking capability, but it is not very efficient and requires synchronization and regular maintenance. Common applications include heavy machinery and automotive systems, and factors such as speed and torque requirements, system size and weight, and gear and motor quality should be considered when selecting this type of system.

Hi guys,

I have 2 mini motors and a set of worm gear.
I would like to know how to build a system that can make use of the torque from both motors at the same time so that I can double the torque without losing speed.

thank you

Hi nomisme,

The two motors should connect to the same gear and rotate in the same direction (parallel assembly). The gear should rotate the worm gear.

IMO I see no easier assembly with more torque.
