SFUD 7/170 Worm Gear Unit Features

The SFUD 7/170 worm gear unit is a double reduction worm gear unit consisting of two single reduction worm gear units. Its main worm unit is specially designed to be installed as a whole on a standard single worm unit that constitutes the second stage. The entire gear device is compact and sturdy, making it suitable for slow-motion machinery. The transmission ratio range is extensive, from 75:1 to 4900:1. These gear devices are particularly suitable for high torque, slow-speed drive. The worm gear transmission conforms to the BS-721 standard.

• High torsional rigidity
• Low noise level
• High efficiency
• Long service life
• Smooth running without vibration

Maintenance

Equipment installation, use, and maintenance should note the following:

1. When hoisting the gear unit, use a lifting ring bolt or lifting point (on larger units).
2. Before commissioning, check the oil level and quantity. Read and execute the lubricating oil plate and installation instructions.
3. The installation must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and by personnel with the appropriate qualifications. Installation must be carried out by personnel with the appropriate qualifications.
4. Ensure proper maintenance of the gear box during operation.
5. Check the oil level regularly and refill when necessary.
6. The operating speed, transmitted power, generated torque, or external load must not exceed the design value.
7. The drive and driven equipment must be selected correctly to ensure satisfactory performance of the entire mechanical device, such as avoiding system critical speed, system torsional vibration, etc.
