WPWDKA Worm Gear Reducers/Worm Gearbox

The WPWDKA worm gear reducer, also known as a worm gearbox, is a high-efficiency mechanical device designed for industrial transmission applications, offering robust torque output and compact design. It features a cast iron housing for durability, a worm gear (typically made of tin bronze for wear resistance), and a worm (crafted from heat-treated 45# steel) as the core transmission components. The WPWDKA worm gearbox integrates a universal worm reducer with a motor flange and a shaft hole output, with the input shaft positioned in the lower part of the gearbox.

This configuration supports versatile mounting options, including horizontal or vertical orientations, and is compatible with standard IEC motors via B5 or B14a flanges. Available in frame sizes from 40 to 250 mm with center distances of 40–250 mm, it offers reduction ratios from 1/10 to 1/60, ensuring high torque and stable, low-noise operation. Its self-locking capability under certain conditions eliminates the need for additional braking devices, making it ideal for applications in conveying equipment, food processing, metallurgy, and chemical industries. The WPWDKA worm gear speed reducer’s compact structure, high load capacity, and minimal vibration enhance its reliability and longevity in demanding environments.
