WPWDKT Worm Gear Reducers/Worm Gearbox

WPWDKT worm gear reducers, a model within the WP series worm gearboxes, are compact and efficient mechanical devices engineered for power transmission across a wide range of industrial applications. These reducers utilize a worm (a helical, screw-like gear) and a worm wheel, typically constructed from high-grade materials such as 45# steel for the worm and tin bronze for the worm wheel, ensuring exceptional durability and wear resistance. The WPWDKT worm gearboxes are designed with a universal axial worm reducer integrated with a motor flange, offering flexible input and output options through a shaft hole. It supports versatile mounting configurations, including horizontal and vertical placements.

With gear ratios spanning from 5:1 to 60:1, these worm gear speed reducers deliver high torque output and self-locking capability under specific conditions, enhancing operational safety. Their cast iron housing provides superior rigidity and load capacity, while premium features like bearings and oil seals contribute to reduced noise, improved efficiency, and extended service life. Thanks to their stable transmission, low vibration, and high performance, WPWDKT worm gear reducers are widely employed in industries such as plastics, metallurgy, mining, and chemicals, where reliability and precision are essential.
