The SNU-U Worm Gear Unit is a series of worm gearboxes that features a wide rib design, increasing the heat dissipation area. The streamlined oil sump can hold more oil, and the larger fan improves the thermal rating of the gearbox. These features result in increased continuous load capacity without a significant rise in temperature. The gearbox can be easily replaced without opening it; simply move the fan and fan cover 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 competitively priced. It's important to note that our products are replacement parts, not original equipment. For original equipment purchases, please contact the original supplier.
The gearbox casing is designed with a streamlined structure, providing a sturdy construction made of fine-grained cast iron. It is completely oil and dust-proof, allowing for outdoor installation without the need for additional covers. The surface and apertures are precisely drilled and machined using the latest precision machinery to ensure perfect alignment and interchangeability.
The worm is made of carburized alloy steel, which is then ground and polished to form an integral shaft. The bearing journals are precisely ground. The worm wheel is made of centrifugally cast phosphor bronze and is machined on a dedicated worm milling machine. It undergoes gas carburizing and grinding on an automatic workpiece grinder. The worm wheel is toothed using high-precision hobbing machines. Each worm wheel is inspected and matched with the main worm to ensure complete interchangeability.
The worm and worm wheel are supported by ball or roller anti-friction bearings, offering sufficient safety margins to withstand adequate shaft neck and thrust loads. Cantilever loads generated by chain or small gear drives are generally allowed, as the gearbox and bearings are designed for this purpose. However, complete and detailed information should be provided for confirmation. In cases where heavy cantilever loads are present, additional roller bearings can be provided.
The shaft is made of high-strength carbon steel. It has a larger diameter to withstand twisting and bending loads that may be caused by cantilever drives.
The following are the key features of the SNU-U Worm Gear Unit:
The single-piece universal housing features top and bottom flanges, as well as support flanges, allowing the gearbox to be installed in various positions such as low speed, high speed, and vertical. This means that internal components can be interchanged for all mounting positions. To switch from low speed to high speed or vice versa, simply invert the unit and relocate the drain plug, breather plug, and oil level indicator. The robust and compact streamlined design provides ample heat capacity.
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive noise | Improper meshing of gears | Check gear meshing and adjust if necessary |
| Overheating | Insufficient lubrication | Ensure proper lubrication and cooling |
| Leakage of oil | Worn-out seals | Replace worn-out seals |
| Irregular vibrations | Imbalanced load | Balance the load evenly |
| Poor performance | Worn-out components | Replace worn-out components |
