WPKS Worm Gear Reducers/Worm Gearbox

WPKS worm gear reducers, part of the WP series worm gearboxes, are mechanical devices designed for efficient power transmission in various industrial applications. These reducers feature a worm (a screw-like gear) and a worm wheel, typically enclosed in a robust cast iron housing for durability in harsh environments. The WPKS worm gearbox is characterized by its compact structure, stable transmission, low vibration, and minimal noise, making it ideal for applications requiring high torque and low speed. It supports versatile mounting options, with input configurations like solid shaft or IEC B5/B14 motor flanges and output options including solid or hollow shafts.

The WPKS worm gear speed reducer offers gear ratios from 1/10 to 1/60, providing significant speed reduction and torque multiplication. Commonly used in industries like plastics, metallurgy, mining, and chemical processing, these reducers may include self-locking capabilities under specific conditions, enhancing safety by preventing reverse rotation. High-quality materials, such as tin bronze worm gears and hardened steel worms, ensure longevity and reliability.
