A Single-Stage worm gearbox is a compact, efficient power transmission device widely used in various industrial applications. It consists of a worm (screw) that meshes with a worm wheel (gear), providing high reduction ratios in a single step. This design offers smooth and quiet operation, making it ideal for scenarios where space is limited and high torque output is required. Industries such as conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and material handling equipment frequently rely on these gearboxes for their durability and reliability.
Our single-stage worm gearbox is engineered to meet rigorous industrial standards. Below is a detailed table of specifications for different models.
| Model Number | Ratio Range | Input Power (kW) | Output Torque (Nm) | Efficiency (%) | Weight (kg) | Input Speed (RPM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSWG-25 | 5:1 to 30:1 | 0.12 - 0.75 | 15 - 90 | 85 - 92 | 2.5 | 1400 - 2800 |
| SSWG-40 | 10:1 to 50:1 | 0.25 - 1.5 | 40 - 200 | 88 - 94 | 5.8 | 1400 - 2800 |
| SSWG-63 | 15:1 to 60:1 | 0.55 - 3.0 | 100 - 500 | 90 - 95 | 12.5 | 1400 - 2800 |
| SSWG-75 | 20:1 to 60:1 | 1.1 - 5.5 | 200 - 1000 | 91 - 96 | 22.0 | 1400 - 2800 |
Additional parameters include operating temperature range: -10°C to 80°C, protection class: IP55 standard for dust and water resistance, and lubrication type: synthetic oil or grease based on application requirements.
Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity. Follow these steps:
For maintenance, inspect every 6 months: lubricant levels, wear on gears, and seal integrity. Replace lubricant annually or after 2000 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
What is a single-stage worm gearbox?
A single-stage worm gearbox is a mechanical device that uses a worm and worm wheel to achieve speed reduction and torque multiplication in one set of gears, ideal for compact applications.
How does the self-locking feature work?
The self-locking feature occurs due to the high friction between the worm and worm wheel, preventing the output shaft from driving the input shaft backwards, which enhances safety in applications like lifts.
What materials are used in your gearboxes?
Our gearboxes typically use hardened steel for the worm and bronze or cast iron for the worm wheel, ensuring durability, wear resistance, and efficient power transmission.
What is the typical efficiency range?
Efficiency ranges from 85% to 96%, depending on the ratio and load conditions. Higher ratios may have slightly lower efficiency due to increased sliding friction.
Can these gearboxes be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, they are designed to operate in temperatures from -10°C to 80°C. For higher temperatures, special lubricants and materials can be specified.
How do I select the right model for my application?
Consider factors like required torque, speed ratio, input power, and mounting style. Refer to our specification table or consult our technical team for assistance based on your specific needs.
What maintenance is required?
Regular maintenance includes checking lubricant levels every 6 months, replacing lubricant annually, and inspecting for wear or damage. Proper lubrication is key to longevity.
Are custom ratios available?
Yes, we offer custom ratio options upon request to meet unique application requirements. Contact us with your specifications for a tailored solution.
What is the lead time for orders?
Standard models are typically shipped within 2-3 weeks, while custom orders may take 4-6 weeks depending on complexity and quantity.
Do you provide technical support?
Absolutely, our team of engineers offers comprehensive technical support for selection, installation, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance.
