I-worm shaft, ekwaziwa ngokuba sisikrufu sombungu, sisixhobo esisetyenziselwa ukuhambisa intshukumo ejikelezayo phakathi kweeshafti ezimbini ezingadibaniyo. Iqukethe intonga ye-cylindrical ene-groove ejikelezayo okanye intambo phezu kwayo. Igiya yeentshulube, kwelinye icala, luhlobo lwegiya efana nesikrufu, esinemiphetho enamazinyo edityaniswe nomjelo ojikelezayo we-worm shaft ukuhambisa amandla.
Xa i-worm shaft ijikeleza, i-spiral groove ihambisa izixhobo zeentshulube, ezihambisa oomatshini abadibeneyo. Lo matshini ubonelela ngenqanaba eliphezulu lokuhanjiswa kwetorque, iyenza ilungele imisebenzi efuna intshukumo enamandla kunye necothayo, njengoomatshini bezolimo.
Enye inzuzo yokusebenzisa i-worm shaft kunye negiya yeentshulube kwibhokisi yegiya yezolimo kukukwazi kwabo ukunciphisa ingxolo kunye nokungcangcazela. Oku kungenxa yoyilo olulodwa oluvumela ukuhamba kakuhle kunye nokuhamba koomatshini. Oku kubangela ukuguga okuncinci kunye nokukrazula kumatshini, ukwandisa ixesha lokuphila kunye nokunciphisa iimali zokulondoloza.
Enye inzuzo kukukwazi kwabo ukwandisa ukuhanjiswa kwamandla ngokufanelekileyo. I-engile ye-spiral groove kwi-worm shaft imisela umlinganiselo wegiya, oku kuthetha ukuba umatshini unokwenziwa ngokukodwa ukuvumela isantya esithile okanye ukuphuma kwetorque. Oku kunyuka kokusebenza kakuhle kubangela uqoqosho oluphuculweyo lwamafutha kunye nokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamandla, okukhokelela ekugqibeleni ukonga.
Ukuqukumbela, ukusetyenziswa kwe-worm shaft kunye negiya yeentshulube kwibhokisi yegiya yezolimo kudlala indima ebalulekileyo koomatshini bezolimo abasebenzayo nabasebenzayo. Uyilo lwazo olulodwa luvumela ukusebenza okuthe cwaka kwaye okugudileyo ngelixa kubonelela ngokusebenza okwandisiweyo kokuhanjiswa kwamandla, ekugqibeleni kukhokelela kushishino lwezolimo oluzinzileyo nolunengeniso.
