WPEKA Hollow Shaft Double Speed Worm Gear Reducer — Coupling-Free Ultra-High Ratio Drive for Heavy Mixers, Agitators & Slow-Speed Feeders
Large industrial mixing vessels, heavy-duty agitator equipment, and slow-speed bulk material feeders often require both a very high reduction ratio AND coupling-free output shaft connection. A single-stage hollow shaft gearbox (WPKA) can deliver coupling-free mounting but only to 1/60 ratio — far short of the ultra-slow speeds many heavy process applications demand. The WPEKA hollow shaft double speed worm gear reducer bridges this gap by combining the coupling-free convenience of an H7 precision hollow output bore with the extreme ratio capability (1/200–1/900) of the two-stage WPE design.
The WPEKA allows the driven shaft (mixer impeller shaft, feeder screw, agitator paddle shaft) to slide directly into the output bore without any coupling — eliminating the coupling alignment complexity while achieving the ultra-low output speeds required for heavy viscous mixing, crystallisation, and slow-rotation process equipment. Available in 9 size groups (40-70 through 155-250 mm), bore diameters 30–110 mm, ratios 1/200–1/900. Über Ever-power | Request a Bore Size Consultation

* S = hollow bore diameter (H7 tolerance). Driven shaft must be ground to h6/js6 for correct fit. W×Y = bore keyway dimensions. B = bore-face housing width. HH = lateral housing height offset. HS/U/T×V = standard solid input shaft dimensions.
Product Structure — Two-Stage Cascade with H7 Hollow Output Bore
The WPEKA replaces the solid output shaft of the WPEA with a precision-bored through-bore in the second-stage worm wheel shaft. The bore is ground to H7 tolerance and fitted with an internal keyway. The driven shaft slides directly into the bore from the housing face — located radially by the bore and rotationally by the keyway — creating a direct, compact, coupling-free connection to the process equipment shaft.

✅ Key Features & Benefits
Coupling-Free Output at 1/200–1/900 Ratios
The WPEKA is the only product that simultaneously delivers coupling-free hollow bore output AND two-stage 1/200–1/900 reduction. Where the single-stage WPKA can provide hollow shaft mounting to 1/60 and the solid-shaft WPEA can provide two-stage ratios, the WPEKA delivers both in one unit. Keywords: hollow shaft double speed worm gearbox, two-stage hollow bore worm reducer 1/900.
Direct-to-Shaft Integration for Complex Process Equipment
For large crystallisation vessels, heavy viscous material mixers, and slow-rotation reactor agitators where the impeller shaft is long and the coupling attachment point is difficult to access, the WPEKA’s direct bore-mount eliminates the coupling without requiring accessible shaft end clearance for coupling assembly.
FC25 Cast Iron for Heavy-Duty Service
The two-stage FC25 grey cast iron housing provides the impact resistance and vibration damping needed for heavy mixing and agitation applications where cyclic loads, material consistency changes, and start-stop duty create challenging mechanical environments.
Precision Bore H7 — No Field Reaming
The hollow bore is machined and ground to H7 tolerance in our facility — driven shafts ground to h6/js6 mate directly without field reaming or fitting. This is important for large mixer installations where on-site machining is impractical.
Five Input Shaft Direction Options
Standard positions A through E maintain full installation flexibility for the WPEKA, allowing integration into heavy mixer and agitator drives from any input shaft direction to suit the motor position and machine layout.
Wide Bore Size Range for Heavy Process Shafts
Bore diameters from 30 mm (size 40-70) to 110 mm (size 155-250) cover the full range of impeller shaft, agitator shaft, and screw shaft diameters used in heavy process equipment applications — from small laboratory reactors to large industrial mixing vessels.
Industry Applications
The WPEKA is the solution for heavy process applications requiring both coupling-free shaft mounting and ultra-high reduction ratios:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WPEKA and WPKA?
The WPKA (single-stage) achieves ratios 1/5–1/60 with an H7 hollow output bore. The WPEKA (two-stage) achieves 1/200–1/900 — far higher ratios — also with an H7 hollow output bore. Both eliminate the output coupling. The WPEKA is longer and heavier due to the two-stage housing, but delivers the extreme reduction ratios that heavy process applications require beyond the single-stage limit.
How do I specify the correct hollow bore size for my driven shaft?
The bore diameter S must match your driven shaft diameter exactly. The WPEKA bore is H7 tolerance — your shaft should be h6 or js6. If your shaft falls between standard bore sizes, custom bore diameters are available for OEM orders. Contact us with your shaft diameter: we can provide custom bores from our minimum to maximum sizes within each frame group.
What is the maximum hollow bore diameter available for WPEKA?
The largest standard WPEKA bore is 110 mm for size 155-250. For size 135-200, the standard bore is 85 mm. Custom bores up to the maximum for each size group can be specified on request. Contact us with your required bore diameter for availability and pricing.
Can the WPEKA handle reversing rotation and stop-start duty?
Yes — the two-stage worm gear arrangement handles bidirectional rotation, and the hollow bore keyway transmits torque equally in both directions. For heavy reversing duty (e.g. mixer drives with frequent directional reversals), we recommend the optional shrink disc axial retention rather than the standard set screw, to prevent shaft walking under the higher transient axial forces during reversal.
What is the two-stage transmission efficiency of the WPEKA?
The WPEKA transmission efficiency is the product of the two individual stage efficiencies. For a 1/200 ratio combination (e.g. two 1/14 stages), combined efficiency may reach 45–55%. For 1/900 ratio combinations, combined efficiency is typically 30–40%. This lower efficiency compared to single-stage units means the WPEKA generates more heat per unit of output power — for continuous applications at high combined ratios, consider the WPEKS finned variant.
