WPDX Series Worm Gearboxes

WPDX Series Worm Gearboxes

WPDX series worm gearboxes, also known as WPDX worm gear reducers, are composed of one or several pairs of meshing gears, worm gears, worms, etc. Installed in a rigid, sealed box and used as an independent part of the machine. It is often used as a transmission device for deceleration between the prime mover and the working machine. On the contrary, on a few occasions, such as centrifugal compressors and other speed-increasing transmission devices, such transmission devices are called speed-increasing machines.
Due to its compact structure, low efficiency (gear reducer), accurate and reliable transmission movement, use and maintenance, and wholesale production, the reducer is widely used in chemical plants, machinery, and engineering institutions. We can produce the WPDO&WPDX cast iron case gearboxes and speed reducer according to your requirements. Please get in touch with us for the price.

Product Specifications

What are the common problems of a worm gearbox?

1. Heat and oil leakage of reducer. To improve the efficiency of the worm gear reducer, a non-ferrous metal is generally used as worm gear, and the worm is made of hard steel. Because it is sliding friction transmission, it will produce high heat during operation, resulting in differences in thermal expansion between various parts and seals of reducer, resulting in gaps on different mating surfaces, and the oil becomes thinner due to the increase in temperature, which is easy to cause leakage. There are four main reasons: first, whether the material matching is reasonable; second, the surface quality of the meshing and friction surface; third, whether the selection and addition amount of lubricating oil are correct; fourth, the assembly quality and use environment.
2. Worm gear is worn. The worm gear is generally made of tin bronze. The matched worm material is typically hardened to hrc45-55 with 45 steel, and 40C: Hardened hrc50-55 is also commonly used. It is ground to the roughness Rao. 8 FCM by the worm grinder. During regular operation of the reducer, the worm is like a hardened “file,” which keeps filing the worm gear, causing wear to the worm gear. Generally speaking, this kind of wear is prolonged. Like some reducers in a factory, they can be used for more than ten years. If the wear speed is fast, it is necessary to consider whether the reducer selection is correct, whether there is overload operation, worm gear material, assembly quality, or service environment.

3. The transmission pinion is worn. It usually occurs on the reducer installed vertically, which is mainly related to the additional amount of lubricating oil and the selection of lubricating oil. During vertical installation, it is easy to cause insufficient lubricating oil. When the reducer stops running, the transmission gear oil between the motor and the reducer loses, the gear does not get due lubrication protection, and adequate lubrication is not obtained during startup or operation, resulting in mechanical wear and even damage.
4. The worm bearing is damaged. When the worm reducer breaks down, even if the reducer is well sealed, the factory often finds that the gear oil in the reducer has been emulsified and the bearing has been rusted, corroded, and damaged. This is because the gear oil is formed by the condensation of water generated after heating and cooling during the reducer’s operation and shutdown. Of course, it is also closely related to bearing quality and the assembly process.
