Which component transfers the worm gear output to the sprocket located on the brake/clutch?

• A. Worm gear assembly
• B. Roller chain
• C. Stabilizer ring
• D. Pressure roller arm

Answer: (B)

Power moves from the worm gear through a link designed to carry rotational force to another rotating part. The roller chain serves that role, connecting the worm gear output to the brake/clutch sprocket so torque reaches the sprocket and drives the brake/clutch. The worm gear assembly is the source of motion, not the transfer path itself. A stabilizer ring mainly keeps alignment, and a pressure roller arm adjusts chain tension or engagement, but neither transmits torque to the sprocket. So, the roller chain is the component that transfers the worm gear output to the brake/clutch sprocket.
