Below is a detailed table outlining the technical parameters of our Brass & Bronze Worm Gearbox models. These specifications are based on standard configurations, but we offer customization options to meet unique requirements.
| Model | Gear Ratio | Input Speed (RPM) | Output Torque (Nm) | Efficiency (%) | Weight (kg) | Material Composition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBWG-50 | 10:1 | 1500 | 50 | 85 | 5.2 | Brass worm, bronze gear |
| BBWG-100 | 20:1 | 1500 | 100 | 80 | 8.7 | Brass worm, bronze gear |
| BBWG-200 | 30:1 | 1000 | 200 | 75 | 12.5 | Brass worm, bronze gear |
| BBWG-500 | 40:1 | 1000 | 500 | 70 | 18.0 | Brass worm, bronze gear |
Additional notes: All models operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 120°C and are suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting. Lubrication is pre-applied, but regular checks are recommended for optimal performance.
What is a worm gearbox and how does it work?
A worm gearbox consists of a worm (screw) meshing with a gear (wheel), transmitting motion at 90 degrees with high reduction ratios. It provides compact, efficient power transmission with self-locking capabilities in many configurations.
Why use brass and bronze materials in these gearboxes?
Brass and bronze offer excellent corrosion resistance, low friction, and high durability. These materials reduce wear, handle heavy loads, and perform well in various environments, extending the gearbox's lifespan.
What maintenance is required for a brass and bronze worm gearbox?
Regular lubrication checks every 6-12 months are essential, along with inspections for wear and tear. Clean the exterior to prevent debris buildup. No frequent disassembly is needed due to the robust material design.
Can these gearboxes be customized for specific applications?
Yes, we offer customization in gear ratios, sizes, mounting options, and material grades to meet unique industrial requirements. Contact our team with your specifications for tailored solutions.
What is the typical efficiency range of these gearboxes?
Efficiency varies with ratio and load, generally between 70% and 85%. Higher ratios may have lower efficiency due to increased friction, but our designs optimize performance for energy savings.
Are these gearboxes suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, they operate effectively from -20°C to 120°C. For temperatures beyond this range, special lubricants and material treatments can be applied upon request.
How do I select the right model for my application?
Consider factors like required torque, speed, ratio, space constraints, and environmental conditions. Refer to our specification table or consult our technical support for guidance based on your needs.
What industries commonly use brass and bronze worm gearboxes?
They are widely used in manufacturing, automotive, agriculture, marine, robotics, and material handling industries due to their reliability and adaptability.
Do these gearboxes come with a warranty?
Yes, we provide a standard 2-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, with options for extended coverage based on usage conditions.
How does the self-locking feature work in worm gearboxes?
The self-locking feature prevents backdriving, meaning the gear cannot drive the worm, enhancing safety in applications like lifts and hoists where load holding is critical.
