WPW Universal Speed Worm Gear Reducer \u2014 Multi-Orientation Flanged-Base Drive for Food, Packaging & General Industry<\/h1>\n

Most industrial worm gearboxes require careful orientation selection at the design stage \u2014 once a standard foot-mount unit is installed, it cannot be repositioned without oil level reconfiguration and potential housing modifications. The WPW universal speed worm gear reducer<\/strong> breaks this constraint with a flanged-base design incorporating multiple anchor bolt positions and multi-face oil ports that ensure correct lubrication in any of the five standard mounting orientations (A\u2013E) plus non-standard angles.<\/p>\n

This installation flexibility \u2014 combined with the same cast iron build quality, precision worm-and-wheel gearing, and ISO-standard ratio range (1\/5\u20131\/60) found in the WP series \u2014 makes the WPW the preferred choice for food processing conveyors, packaging machinery, and general industry applications where the mounting angle is constrained by the machine layout rather than the gearbox specification. Available in 12 sizes<\/strong> (40\u2013250 mm), ratios 1\/5 to 1\/60, output torque up to 2,371 Nm. About Ever-power<\/a> | Request a Selection Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\"WPW<\/div>\n
\n

The WPW housing extends laterally beyond the gear centre to form integrated flanged base arms (dimensions AC, BC) with precision-drilled anchor bolt holes at positions AD, BD. All four base arms are machined flat to the same reference datum, so any face can serve as the mounting surface without shimming. Multi-face oil-fill and drain ports confirm correct oil immersion in each orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Key Features & Benefits<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n

True Multi-Orientation Universal Mounting<\/h3>\n

The WPW can be anchored in any of five standard positions with correct oil lubrication confirmed for each \u2014 not simply a standard gearbox rotated at will. The multi-face oil port system, precision-flat base arms, and anchor bolt layout are all engineered for multi-orientation service. Keywords: universal mount worm gear reducer, multi-orientation flanged-base worm gearbox.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ufe0f<\/div>\n

Flanged Anchor Base \u2014 More Rigid Than Foot-Mount<\/h3>\n

The four-point anchor bolt base distributes mounting reaction torques over a wider footprint than a two-pad foot-mount, reducing concentrated bolt stresses and minimising vibration transmission to the supporting structure \u2014 a meaningful advantage for food processing and packaging machinery where vibration affects product quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u2699\ufe0f<\/div>\n

Precision Worm & Wheel \u2014 Low Noise, High Efficiency<\/h3>\n

Ground 20CrMnTi worm and ZCuSn10Pb1 bronze wheel to ISO 1328 Grade 7 tolerances deliver smooth, quiet drive (\u226472 dB(A) at rated load) with efficiency 60\u201390% depending on ratio. Self-locking at ratios \u22651\/30 provides passive load holding without a separate brake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

Design Flexibility \u2014 Same Gearbox, Multiple Machine Layouts<\/h3>\n

OEM machine designers can specify a single WPW size across multiple machine variants that differ only in drive orientation \u2014 eliminating the need to stock and manage separate WPA (vertical), WPX (dual), and WPS (finned) variants for each machine configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

12 Sizes \u2014 Full Industrial Range<\/h3>\n

Twelve sizes (40\u2013250 mm) covering input powers up to 33 kW and output torques up to 2,371 Nm at 1500 r\/min provide the complete range of industrial drive requirements from small packaging machine drives to large conveyor head drives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

Self-Locking for Safe Load Holding<\/h3>\n

At ratios of 1\/30 and above, the WPW provides reliable static self-locking \u2014 holding connected loads securely when the motor is de-energised. This passive safety feature is valuable for inclined conveyors, elevating equipment, and packaging machine axis drives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
