Worm Gear Drive WE14 Application in Heavy Industries
What is Worm Gear Drive WE14
Worm gear Drive WE14 is a compact right-angle drive system comprising a hardened steel worm (screw) that engages with a bronze alloy worm wheel. Engineered for high torque at low speeds, it offers inherent self-locking to prevent back-driving, making it ideal for vertical conveyors, hoists, and safety-critical systems.
Heavy Duty Worm Gearbox WE14
Heavy duty worm gearbox WE14 features reinforced bearings, high-strength alloy casings with cooling fins, and triple-labyrinth seals to withstand dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Its rigid construction absorbs high shock loads—up to 500% of rated torque—ensuring reliability in crushers, mills, and continuous mining operations.
Mining Crusher Gearbox Selection
Selecting gearboxes for mining crushers requires analyzing ore hardness (Mohs scale), crushing ratios (e.g., 6:1 for jaw crushers), and startup torque (300–400% of running torque). WE14 gearboxes excel in gyratory and cone crushers handling abrasive granite/basalt, with torque ratings from 18,500 Nm to 120,000 Nm. Key considerations include vibration resistance, IP66/IP69K sealing, and >100,000-hour design life under 24/7 operation.
