The WP series worm gear reducer is a widely used reduction device in mechanical equipment. It is based on the principle of worm gear and achieves power reduction and torque increase through gear meshing. The following is a detailed introduction to the WP series worm gear reducer:
1、 Product Overview
The WP series worm gear reducer is developed on the basis of WD reducer. Its worm gear is made of 45 # high-quality steel and processed by heat treatment. The worm gear is cast with tin bronze, which has good wear resistance and outstanding load-bearing capacity. This type of reducer is mainly suitable for deceleration transmission of various mechanical equipment such as plastics, metallurgy, beverages, mining, lifting and transportation, chemical construction, etc.
2、 Product Features
Smooth transmission: The WP series worm gear reducer has a smooth transmission, with low vibration, impact, and noise, ensuring the stability of mechanical equipment operation.
Large reduction ratio: This series of reducers can achieve a large transmission ratio through single-stage transmission, with a compact structure and wide versatility, and can be used in conjunction with various mechanical equipment.
Good self-locking performance: Most models of WP series reducers have good self-locking performance, which can save braking devices for mechanical equipment with braking requirements.
Strong wear resistance: The worm and worm gear materials are excellent, with strong wear resistance, and can withstand large loads and long-term operation.
High lubrication and cooling requirements: Due to the significant friction loss between the worm gear teeth and the worm gear tooth surface, the transmission efficiency is relatively low and it is prone to heat generation, thus requiring high lubrication and cooling requirements.
Good compatibility: The worm gear and worm are manufactured according to national standards, and standard components such as bearings and oil seals are also used for easy maintenance and replacement.
3、 Structural form
The WP series worm gear reducer has various structural forms, mainly including the following:
Box type: There are basic types (the box body is a vertical or horizontal structure with a bottom board) and universal types (the box body is a rectangular prism with fixed screw holes on multiple surfaces, without a bottom board or with additional bottom boards).
Input shaft connection method: There are two types: basic type (single input shaft and double input shaft) and motor flange.
Output and input axis position direction: there are input axes below and above; Output axis up and down; Input multiple combinations such as axial up and down.
4、 Model and specifications
The WP series worm gear reducer has a variety of models, such as WPA, WPS, WPD, WPO, etc. Each model has differences in transmission ratio, load-bearing capacity, structural dimensions, and other aspects. At the same time, this series of reducers also has a rich selection of specifications, such as product specifications ranging from 40 to 250, transmission ratios of single-stage up to 10-60, bipolar up to 200-900, input power range between 0.12-33.2kW, and output torque up to 6-6050N · m.
5、 Application scope
The WP series worm gear reducer is widely used in various mechanical equipment that requires deceleration and torque increase, such as chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, medical, environmental protection, agriculture, woodworking, logistics equipment, building materials, engineering, papermaking, printing, packaging, food, grain and oil processing, metal processing and other industries. In these industries, WP series reducers have gained widespread recognition and application for their excellent performance and reliable quality.
6、 Precautions
Worm gear shaft usage: Worm gear shaft must not be used as an input shaft.
Supporting motor: The supporting motor (i.e. power) cannot exceed the value specified on the label.
Adjustment of shaft direction: If the user wants to change the shaft direction, they can remove the two end covers of the lower shaft, take out the worm shaft, adjust it 180 °, and then reinstall it. Do not forcefully tap during installation, slowly drive the two shafts to engage them.
In summary, the WP series worm gear reducer is a high-performance, compact, and widely used reduction device that plays an important role in mechanical equipment.
