What is a Starter Gear Worm Wheel?
A worm gear (or worm drive) is a specific gear composition in which a screw (worm) meshes with a gear/wheel similar to a spur gear. The set-up allows the user to determine the rotational speed and also allows for a higher torque to be transmitted.

The 539785 Starter Worm Wheel Gear is a key component in the starter mechanism of Continental Motors aircraft engines. This gear is crucial for engaging the starter motor with the engine's flywheel, initiating the engine's start sequence. Made from high-strength alloys, this gear is designed to withstand the high torque and stresses involved in engine start-ups.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Typically constructed from hardened steel or high-strength alloys to handle high torque loads.
• Function: The worm gear mechanism allows for smooth and controlled engagement of the starter motor, providing the necessary force to turn the engine over during start-up.
• Applications: Specifically used in various Continental Motors engines, this component ensures reliable starting and is essential for maintaining engine performance and longevity.
