Motor Torque T = V x I x pf / (2 x pi x N(rpm) / 60)

Worm Efficiency * Torque = Stall torque

Worm Gear Efficiency = (cos(Pressure Angle of Worm Gear)-Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*tan(Lead Angle of Worm
+Coefficient of Friction for Worm Gear*cot(Lead Angle of Worm))
η = (cos(an)-μ*tan(γ))/(cos(an)+μ*cot(γ))

The armature worm tooth form to be made fully conjugate to the mating worm wheel tooth profile.
Tooth friction will be the source of torque loss ( modify the toothe profile to reduce the sliding )
In worm gear sliding friction causes the gear efficiency
The hold torque is now governed by how much torque it takes to turn the unpowered motor. This will be governed by fricti
