Product Overview
WPW Series Universal Worm Gear Reducer — Technical Overview

The WPW Series Universal Worm Gear Reducer is the flagship configuration of the WP family, featuring a multi-position integral housing that can be bolted in any of six standard orientations without modification. Output torques reach 3,025 N·m at size 250 — slightly higher than the WPA due to the reinforced universal housing construction.

Solid horizontal input and output shafts, 20CrMnTi worm shaft at HRC 58–62, ZCuSn10Pb1 bronze wheel. Efficiency 60–82%. Integral P-type HT250 cast iron housing machined for six-face mounting. Oil fill must be confirmed for each orientation. Leak-tested to 2.5 bar.

Shaft Direction
WPW Series — Input and Output Shaft Orientations
Multiple shaft direction positions are available. Specify the position code when ordering. Oil fill volume changes with non-standard orientations — EVER-POWER confirms the required adjustment.

Code Input Shaft Position Output Shaft Position Typical Use
A Horizontal — below centre (standard) Horizontal Horizontal conveyor drives, standard floor-mounted machines
S Horizontal — above centre Horizontal Overhead mounting, inverted or top-fed drives
O Horizontal Vertical — upward Lifting columns, vertical screw drives, hoist applications
X Horizontal Vertical — downward Gravity-assisted feed, downward discharge drives
T Vertical — upward Horizontal Vertical input from above, tower or mast drives
V Vertical — downward Horizontal Floor-level motor with downward vertical input shaft
ℹ Universal Multi-Position Mounting — WPW Series
The WPW housing is machined on six faces, allowing the gearbox to be bolted in any of six standard positions (four horizontal rotations plus two vertical orientations) by selecting the appropriate mounting bolt pattern. This eliminates the need to specify a particular orientation at procurement time. Oil fill must be adjusted for each mounting position — EVER-POWER confirms the correct volume.

Selection Correction Factors
Power Calculation and Correction Coefficient Tables
Apply correction factors a₁ and a₂ to the rated torque before selecting a gearbox size. Use Table 3 to verify motor input power.

Fault Diagnosis
Troubleshooting Guide — Common Faults and Remedies
Identify the fault symptom, locate the probable cause, and apply the recommended corrective action before returning the unit to service.

Fault Symptom Probable Cause Recommended Action
Overheating Motor, gearbox, or driven machine misaligned at coupling Re-align all three shafts to be co-axial. Check coupling and re-torque fasteners.
Overload running Reduce load to within rated torque. Apply correction factors a₁ and a₂.
Lip seal worn or excessively tight Apply grease at the seal lips; replace seal if worn.
Incorrect oil level or degraded lubricant Top up or drain and refill to the correct level. Use the grade specified in Table 4.
Vibration Motor, gearbox, or driven machine poorly fixed or misaligned Inspect and re-tighten all mounting fasteners. Re-align coupling.
Worm wheel tooth surface worn or damaged Replace the worm wheel assembly.
Bearing worn Replace bearing. Check shaft for scoring before refitting.
Abnormal Noise Bearing worn or clearance too large Replace bearing and adjust preload.
Poor worm wheel tooth mesh Check and adjust tooth contact; replace worm wheel pair if necessary.
Insufficient lubricant Top up oil to the correct level.
Foreign matter in housing Drain oil completely, flush housing, remove debris, refill with fresh oil.
Oil Leakage Lip seal damaged Replace lip seal.
Shaft journal surface worn at seal contact Replace input or output shaft. Fit new seal to match.
Oil overfilled Drain to the correct level per the oil gauge indicator.
Drain plug loose or oil gauge cracked Re-seal and tighten drain plug. Replace oil gauge if cracked.
Rapid Worm Wheel Wear Overload running Reduce load; check application duty factors against rated capacity.
Wrong lubricant grade Drain and refill with the correct grade from Table 4.
Insufficient lubricant Top up to the correct level at the oil gauge.
Oil change interval exceeded; lubricant degraded Drain, flush, and refill per the maintenance schedule.
Operating temperature too high Resolve overheating fault first (see above), then reduce ambient temperature or improve ventilation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — WPW Series Universal Worm Gear Reducer
How does the WPW differ from the WPA?+
The WPW housing is machined for six-face universal mounting; the WPA housing is designed for foot mounting only. The WPW also carries a slightly higher torque rating due to reinforced housing construction. All internal gear components are the same material and heat treatment specification.
How do I change the mounting orientation of a WPW?+
Rotate the housing to the required position and select the appropriate mounting bolt face. Adjust the oil fill volume for the new orientation — EVER-POWER specifies the correct volume for each of the six standard positions.
Does the WPW self-lock?+
Yes, at ratios of 1:30 and above, regardless of mounting orientation.
What is the MOQ and lead time?+
MOQ 10 pcs, 30–45 days production. Samples 15–25 days.
Are drawings available?+
2D DXF/PDF for all WPW sizes within 24 hours. STEP 3D from 60 mm centre distance upward.
