Worm Reducer-Replacement of Elecon SNU Modular Universal Mounting 4 SNU-SM Worm Gear Unit

Introduction

The Worm Reducer-Replacement of Elecon SNU Modular Universal Mounting 4 SNU-SM Worm Gear Unit is a series of gearboxes that feature a large rib design, increasing the heat dissipation area. The streamlined oil sump can hold more oil, and the larger fan can improve the thermal rating of the gearbox. All of these improvements result in increased continuous load capacity without a significant increase in temperature. With this gearbox, manual replacement is not necessary, as the fan and fan cover can simply be switched from one end of the worm shaft to the other. Our company offers replacement worm gearboxes under the Elecon brand, which are of high quality and available at competitive prices. It is important to note that our products are replacement parts and not original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. For purchasing OEM parts, please contact the original supplier.

Product Structure

The gearbox features the following components:

• Housing: The gearbox housing is made of solid cast iron with a streamlined design. It is completely oil and dustproof and can be installed outdoors without the need for additional covers. The surface and bores are drilled and processed with precision machinery to ensure perfect alignment and interchangeability.
• Worm/Worm Wheel: The worm is made of carburized alloy steel, ground, and polished, and is integrated with the shaft. The bearing journals are precisely ground. The worm wheel is made of centrifugally cast phosphor bronze and is machined on a dedicated worm wheel milling machine. It undergoes gas carburizing and grinding on an automatic workpiece grinder. The worm wheel is precision ground using high-precision hobbing machines. Every worm wheel is inspected and matched with the main worm to ensure complete interchangeability.
• Bearings: The worm and worm wheel are supported by ball or roller antifriction bearings, providing sufficient safety margins to withstand adequate shaft and thrust loads. Overhanging loads generated by chain or small gear drives are generally permissible since the gearbox and bearings are designed for this purpose. However, complete detailed information should be provided for confirmation. In cases of heavy overhung loads, additional roller bearings can be provided.
• Shaft: The shaft is made of high-strength carbon steel. Its larger diameter allows it to withstand torsional and bending loads caused by overhung driving.

Features of the Worm Gear Unit

The Worm Gear Unit in this series has the following characteristics:

• High load capacity: The gearbox design allows for increased continuous load capacity without a significant rise in temperature.
• Easy replacement: The fan and fan cover can be easily switched from one end of the worm shaft to the other without the need to open the gearbox manually.
• Excellent heat dissipation: The large rib design and increased oil capacity contribute to improved heat dissipation.
• Precision manufacturing: The gearbox components are manufactured using advanced machinery and undergo rigorous inspection and testing to ensure perfect alignment and interchangeability.
• Reliable performance: The worm and worm wheel are carefully matched to guarantee optimal performance and durability.
