Worm Reducer-Replacement of Elecon Cooling Tower Fan Drive Gear Unit CTU Type 150CTU
150CTU Cooling Tower Worm Gear Unit
The 150CTU cooling tower worm gear unit is a series of compact drive gear units with an extended top housing to accommodate larger wheel shaft bearings. These gears are used for cooling tower fans and similar applications. The length of the output shaft's extended section can be manufactured to meet customer requirements for fan hub installation. Lubrication is achieved entirely through oil splashing in the oil sump and oil immersion in the lower bearing, and oil is pumped to the upper wheel shaft bearing through a built-in plunger mechanism. All exposed components except the extended rod are coated with anti-corrosion paint. Our company provides Elecon brand replacement worm reducers, which are of good quality and price, and we emphasize that our products are replacement parts, not original parts. If you need to purchase original parts, please contact the original supplier for purchase.
