Worm Reducer-Replacement of Elecon SNU Modular Universal Mounting 9 SNU-U Worm Gear Unit

Introduction

The Worm Reducer - Replacement of Elecon SNU Modular Universal Mounting 9 SNU-U Worm Gear Unit is a high-quality gearbox designed to meet various industrial needs. This series of gearboxes features large fins that increase heat dissipation, a streamlined oil sump that can hold more oil, and a larger fan that improves the gearbox's heat rating. These features result in increased continuous load capacity without a significant rise in temperature. The gearbox can be easily replaced without opening it up; simply switch 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 excellent quality and available at competitive prices. It is important to note that our products are replacement parts and not original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. If you require OEM parts, please contact the original supplier for purchasing.

Structure

The Worm Reducer - Replacement of Elecon SNU Modular Universal Mounting 9 SNU-U Worm Gear Unit consists of the following components:

• Gearbox Housing: The gearbox housing is made of high-quality cast iron and features a streamlined design. It is fully sealed against oil and dust, allowing for outdoor installation without the need for additional covers. The surface and bores are precisely drilled and machined using the latest precision machines to ensure perfect alignment and interchangeability.
• Worm/Worm Wheel: The worm is made of carburized alloy steel, which is then ground and polished. It is integral with the shaft, and 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 further processed using a high-precision hobbing machine to ensure accurate tooth profile. Each 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 anti-friction bearings, providing ample safety margins to withstand sufficient shaft and thrust loads. Cantilever loads generated by chain or small gear transmission are generally allowed as the gearbox and bearings are designed for such applications. However, complete and detailed information should be provided for confirmation. In cases of heavy cantilever loads, additional roller bearings can be provided.
• Shaft: The shaft is made of high-strength carbon steel. It has a larger diameter to withstand torsional and bending loads that may be caused by cantilever drives.

Product Features

• High load-carrying capacity
• Efficient heat dissipation
• Easy fan and fan cover replacement
• Precision-machined components for perfect alignment
• Interchangeable worm/worm wheel pairs for convenient maintenance
