    "data": {
        "note": "The lead = starts × axial pitch (π × module), and the lead angle = atan(lead ÷ (π × worm pitch diameter)). A small lead angle (roughly under 5–6° for typical steel-on-bronze) makes the drive self-locking — the wheel cannot back-drive the worm, useful for hoists and holding loads, but it caps efficiency. Bigger lead angles (multi-start, thin worm) drive more freely and efficiently but lose the self-locking. Confirm self-locking dynamically; vibration can unlock a marginal pair.",
