A gear system including a worm gear, planetary gear, worm coupling and planetary coupling is presented. The worm coupling couples a first shaft with the worm gear and includes a head and an elongated portion. The elongated portion is attached to the worm gear to serve as the worm gear's axle. The head includes an opening into which the worm shaft is inserted and may include additional bores into which set screws are inserted to removably attach the worm shaft to the worm coupling. The planetary coupling couples a second shaft with the planetary gear. The planetary coupling includes a bore into which the second shaft is inserted and may include additional bores into which set screws are inserted to removably attach the planetary shaft to the planetary coupling. By using multiple bores and set screws, the planetary coupling may accommodate a variety of planetary shafts.
