WPWKS Worm Gear Reducers/Worm Gearbox

WPWKS worm gear reducers, part of the WP series worm gearboxes, are high-efficiency mechanical devices designed for industrial power transmission. They feature a compact cast iron housing, worm gears (typically made from 45# high-quality steel, heat-treated for durability), and a tin bronze worm wheel, ensuring robust load capacity and wear resistance. The WPWKS worm drive gearbox has an integral universal type shaft hole output with the input shaft positioned on the upper side, offering versatile mounting options (horizontal or vertical) for both input and output shafts.

With gear ratios ranging from 10:1 to 60:1, they provide high torque multiplication and speed reduction, ideal for applications like conveyors, food processing equipment, and hoists. Their self-locking capability under specific conditions (e.g., high reduction ratios) enhances safety by preventing reverse rotation. These worm gear speed reducers are known for low noise, minimal vibration, and maintenance-free operation due to sealed lubrication systems. They are widely used in industries such as plastics, metallurgy, and chemical processing, offering reliable performance in compact spaces.
