Aluminum worm gearboxes (speed reducers) drive a load at a reduced fixed ratio of motor speed, with lightweight corrosion-resistant housings. Output torque is increased; horsepower is unchanged (less efficiency losses).

Worm gearboxes (speed reducers) are mechanical power transmission components that utilize a worm pinion (or screw) that is coupled with a round toothed gear (or worm wheel). As a motor turns the worm pinion, its spirals will cause the worm wheel to turn and drive a load at a reduced ratio of the supplied motor speed. Worm gearboxes provide reliable speed reduction and increased torque with virtually no loss in horsepower.

These heavy-duty, right-angle worm gear reducers offer exceptional value for applications where food-grade or corrosion resistant equipment is required. The stainless steel housings provide protection from close-range high pressure, high temperature spray downs.
Cast iron worm gearboxes are built tough with rugged cast iron housings that can withstand harsh industrial environments and provide a long trouble-free service life.
Aluminum worm gearboxes are lower-cost alternatives that feature a lightweight construction, and hollow-shaft outputs (all the way through from one side to the other). They are ideal for light-duty applications that have a less frequent run rate or can justify a shorter service life.
