A worm intermittent mechanism is a unique mechanical system designed to convert continuous rotational motion into intermittent rotational motion. This mechanism typically consists of a worm gear and a toothed wheel. The worm gear, a screw-like component, engages with the teeth of the wheel to drive it in a precise, controlled manner.

In this setup, as the worm gear rotates, it meshes with the teeth of the wheel, causing it to rotate incrementally. The specific design ensures that the wheel moves in defined steps rather than a smooth, continuous motion, making it ideal for applications requiring precise timing and indexing.

This mechanism is often employed in machinery where controlled, periodic movement is essential, such as in mechanical clocks, automated assembly lines, and various types of indexing devices. Its ability to provide high torque and maintain precise positioning makes it a valuable component in engineering and manufacturing.
