What is Worm Gear Drive WE19?

Worm gear drive WE19 is a mechanical system where a threaded worm engages a bronze worm wheel. The "WE19" denotes a standardized 190mm center distance between shafts. This configuration provides substantial torque multiplication and speed reduction through sliding contact, with the worm driving the wheel at perpendicular axes.

Heavy-Duty Worm Gearbox WE19

WE19 units handle extreme industrial demands. Key features include:

Robust cast iron housings (GG25/GGG40) for vibration damping

Hardened alloy steel worms (16MnCr5/20MnCr5) paired with centrifugally cast phosphor bronze wheels (CuSn12)

Advanced sealing systems (lip/labyrinth/mechanical seals)

High-capacity tapered roller bearings

Reinforced output shafts with heavy-duty keyways/splines

WE19 Dynamic Load Calculation

Critical factors for reliable operation:

Nominal Output Torque (M₂) - Baseline operational torque

Service Factor (fB) - Adjusts for load severity (1.0-2.5+), considering:

Prime mover type (electric motor/IC engine)

Driven machine shock level (uniform/heavy shock)

Daily operating hours and start/stop frequency

Design Torque (M₂' = M₂ × fB) - Dynamic load capacity requirement

Efficiency (η) - Accounts for 40-90% energy loss from sliding friction

Thermal Validation - Heat dissipation capacity must exceed power loss [Input Power × (1-η)]

Characteristics of Worm Gear Drive WE19

High reduction ratios (5:1 to 100:1) in single-stage

Right-angle power transmission

Self-locking capability (prevents back-driving)

Compact high-torque design

Smooth low-speed operation

Axial thrust loads requiring specialized bearings

Bronze wheel sacrifice design for easier maintenance
