Abstract (EN): In this paper, the modeling of a system based on a DC Motor with Worm Gearbox is presented. Worm gearboxes are typically applied when its compactness is an important factor, as well as an orthogonal redirectioning is required. One of the greatest advantages of worm gears is its unique self-locking characteristic. This means that the gear can only rotate by its input side, and cannot be actuated through the load side. Using a DC motor with a worm gearbox is a solution that guarantees that, for instance, in a robotic manipulator, when the arm¿s joint reaches a desired angle, it does not move until a next required setpoint. Modeling accurately this system is crucial in order to develop its control in a more efficient way. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
