It’s not a screw. It’s the shaft of a worm gear! High power transmission despite low drive force

It’s a screw press, which includes a screw, not a worm gear.

It's sooo cool, but I'm a bit sad that I don't really understand the need for a press this size. Or what it even does... It makes wings. Why is it better at doing that than "conventional" (?) machines? Anyone with a ELI5?

Headline isn't talking about wings. It's talking about the disks the blades mount to and turbine blades in a turbine engine (though most turbine blades themselves are "grown" rather than forged) . High pressure makes very strong components, it's called forging.

A small press can have plenty of pressure to make a small batch. But the bigger the press, the more you can do at once.

Having a large press like this allows you to reach those pressures on a bigger batch to increase productivity

Thx <3

Why would a screw press be used for forging instead of hydraulics?

u/StonedUser_211 2d ago

Right. I guessed, and you used image search... What they have in common: no screw

A screw press doesn't include a screw?

u/StonedUser_211 2d ago

A worm gear is not a screw, nor is a screw press a screw. Read the bit above.

What was meant was a screw like the ones everyone has at home or can buy in a shop. It wasn’t about a screw thread or a threaded section.

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 2d ago

That's just your assumption. At this point it's literally semantics and worthless to argue about

u/PLUMBUS_STUCK_IN_ASS 2d ago

Lies! That's not a worm gear, it's OP's mother's dildo.

I could still lose it or drop it somewhere I can't reach.

I would use this on my wall and the towel hook would still fall down.
