A type of drive mechanism for rotary stages in which a worm wheel (gear) attached to the stage shaft meshes with the worm drive, whose shaft extends out of the housing. Controlled rotation of the worm shaft creates precise angular rotation of the worm wheel and stage shaft. The worm gear and shaft are matched sets and are pre-loaded to remove backlash.
