Introduction

The Worm Reducer - Replacement of Fenner FU Type Worm Gearbox FU1000 is a high-quality and cost-effective product offered by our company. We specialize in providing replacements for Fenner brand worm gearboxes. Our products are reliable, competitively priced, and are designed to be compatible with standard gearboxes.

Product Features

• The housing is made of FG-260 grade C.I. for durability and strength.
• The gearbox is equipped with well-designed fins and an appropriate fan for effective heat dissipation.
• The entire design is based on BS 721:1963 with precision grade A.
• The gearbox is designed to be interchangeable with standard gearboxes.
• The worm shaft is made of high-quality hardened steel, ensuring precision and improved performance.
• The worm wheel is made of high-quality phosphor bronze, with a large cross-section for increased rigidity.
• Both the worm shaft and worm wheel shaft are mounted on high-quality tapered roller/angular contact bearings to withstand axial thrust and radial loads.
• The minimum gear life of all gearboxes, under full load and at a temperature limit of 90 degrees Celsius, is 20,000 hours.
• No maintenance is required for the gearboxes, with a simple oil level check recommended every two weeks.
• The gear ratio for all worm gearboxes ranges from 5:1 to 70:1.

Structure of Worm Reducer

The Worm Reducer consists of the following components:

• Worm
• Worm Wheel
• Housing
• Bearing
• Oil Seal
• Gasket
• Input Shaft
• Output Shaft

Choosing the Right Worm Gearbox

The selection of a suitable worm gearbox is based on comparing the actual transmission load with the catalog rated values. However, actual load conditions may vary or fluctuate depending on the application type, and to handle similar situations, the use of factors must be considered to achieve equivalent loads or design power.

Therefore, the equivalent load = actual load x service factor mechanical rating and capacity measured in terms of life and/or strength, assuming continuous operation for 10 hours per day under uniform load conditions. If the equipment operates for more than 10 hours per day, the mechanical service factor should be selected based on the type of prime mover, number of operating hours per day, application type to which the equipment is connected, and its load characteristics to ensure an appropriate gear life.

The catalog rated value of the selected equipment should be at least equal to or greater than half of the maximum overload achieved during its operation. By comparing the actual transmission load with the catalog rated value, the gearbox service life can be determined.

Possible Issues and Solutions

Fenner Worm Gearbox Replacement

Our company offers several advantages in replacing Fenner brand worm gearboxes:

• High-quality replacements that meet or exceed the original specifications
• Competitive pricing for cost savings
• Emphasize that our products are replacement parts, not original equipment. For original equipment, customers should contact the original supplier.

We also welcome custom orders based on specific requirements. Here are some additional points to consider:

Installation Considerations

It is important to securely install the gearbox to minimize vibration and excessive load. Ensure proper alignment and use dowel pins to correctly position the gears, preferably in a diagonal direction. The use of flexible couplings (gear couplings with rubber inserts/tyre couplings) is crucial for improving gearbox performance. Align the couplings to avoid angular and eccentric misalignment.

Motors for Worm Gear Reducers

Worm gear reducers and electric motors are closely related and essential components in many applications. The motor provides the necessary power to drive the gearbox, while the gearbox reduces the speed and increases the torque output. Our company also offers a wide range of electric motors for sale, ensuring a complete transmission solution.
