Winsmith E26MWNS 40:1 56C/140TC speed reducer is a mechanical device designed to decrease the rotational speed of an input motor or engine while increasing its torque output. It is used in manufacturing, conveyor systems, food processing and industrial applications where precise control of machinery speed and power transmission is crucial. It allows for efficient machinery operation, ensuring optimal performance and prolonging the lifespan of equipment by reducing wear and tear.
Working Mechanism:
- This speed reducer operates through a worm gear design.
- The mechanism involves a threaded cylindrical shaft called the worm that meshes with a toothed wheel known as the worm gear.
- When an input source, typically an electric motor, turns the worm shaft, it rotates and drives the worm gear.
- As a result, this setup significantly reduces the rotational speed at the output compared to the input.
Features:
- This reducer can efficiently handle various motor power levels and is capable of delivering substantial rotational force to drive machinery effectively.
- It features an input shaft having a diameter of 7/8 inches, providing a sturdy interface for motor integration.
- This reducer offers a C-face input connection type for a secure and reliable attachment to compatible motors.
- It has a hollow output shaft type with a diameter of 1-1/4 inches and a length of 3-1/8 inches, allowing for versatile coupling options.
- This Winsmith reducer provides a 40:1 gear ratio and effectively converts high-speed input into lower-speed, high-torque output.
- It has a base-to-shaft centre measurement of 3.13 inches, allowing flexibility in installation and alignment.
- It further features a durable cast iron housing for enhanced longevity & resistance to environmental factors.
- This Winsmith reducer includes lubrication using Mobil Glygoyle 460 to ensure smooth operation and minimal maintenance requirements.
Compatible Accessories:
- Winsmith E26WB Mounting Plate: It is ideal for securely and conveniently attaching a speed reducer to a mounting surface, simplifying installation and ensuring stability.
Frequently Asked Questions:
