Universal W-Body Structure

WPWD universal cast iron worm gearbox structure

■ Universal W-Body Housing
The WPW-series universal housing is manufactured as a single FC20+ grey cast iron casting with bore positions, keyway orientations, and oil channels configured for the selected shaft direction. All 5 shaft direction configurations (A/B/C/D/E) use the same casting geometry with specific machining per configuration.
■ Worm Shaft
Hardened 20CrMnTi steel worm shaft with case-hardened tooth flanks (55–60 HRC). The worm shaft and its bearings are selected for the specific input orientation of the model — A-type (below), S-type (overhead), or bilateral — ensuring rated bearing life in the correct load direction.
■ Worm Wheel
Tin-bronze ZCuSn10Pb1 alloy worm wheel machined to mesh precisely with the hardened worm shaft. The bronze material provides excellent anti-seizure properties and wear-in characteristics for the worm gear mesh.
■ Output Shaft & Seal
Output shaft in quenched-and-tempered steel with double-lip oil seals rated for the specific output orientation (horizontal, vertical upward O-type, vertical downward X-type, side T-type, or extended V-type). Seal selection matches the hydrostatic pressure requirements of the installed orientation.
■ Oil System
Single-stage oil bath lubrication. Oil fill port, oil gauge, vent plug, and drain plug are positioned for the selected shaft direction configuration. Fill quantities are specified per configuration in the installation guide — do not use generic fill values across configurations.
■ Foot-Mount Base
FC20+ cast iron foot-mount base integrated with the housing casting. Four mounting holes for B3 foot mounting. The base orientation is fixed for the selected shaft direction configuration. For shaft-mount (hollow bore) applications, the torque arm boss provides housing restraint.

Core Features & Benefits

■ D-Type IEC Flange + Universal W-Body: Motorised Drive in Any Orientation

The WPWD integrates the D-type IEC motor flange into the WPW-series universal housing, providing direct motor coupling in all 5 shaft direction configurations. No adaptor plate. No coupling. Direct motor bolt-on in any orientation.

■ D-Split Housing: In-Situ Service Across All Orientations

The WPWD D-type split housing cover can be removed without disturbing the motor or driven shaft in all 5 shaft direction configurations. Universal in-situ serviceability regardless of installation geometry.

■ Full IEC Motor Frame Range: M8 to M16

WPWD accepts standard IEC motor frames from M8 (0.06 kW at size 40) to M16 (14+ kW at size 250) — covering all IEC motor sizes used in standard industrial process drives.

■ 5 Shaft Direction Configurations Available

All 5 shaft direction configurations (A–E) are available for the WPWD with the D-type IEC motor flange. Universal orientation support is maintained with direct motor mounting.

■ Full WP Ratio Range in All Orientations

All standard ratios 1/5–1/60 are available in all 5 shaft direction configurations with the IEC motor flange — no ratio or orientation restrictions.

■ Anti-Corrosion Coating — Process Environment Grade

Standard epoxy/polyurethane coating provides corrosion resistance across the diverse process environments where the WPWD’s universal versatility finds application.

Frequently Asked Questions — WPWD

▶ What is the advantage of WPWD over WPW + separate motor coupling?
The WPWD eliminates: (1) the coupling element, (2) the coupling hub machining, (3) the alignment procedure, (4) the coupling’s wear maintenance. Additionally, the IEC flange provides precise motor centreing that a shaft coupling cannot achieve — this reduces vibration and bearing load from motor misalignment. For frequent motor removal access, the IEC flange bolts in seconds versus a coupling hub extraction.
▶ Can the WPWD IEC flange accept servo motors?
Yes, with a servo adaptor plate. The WPWD D-type flange accepts standard IEC servo motor adaptor plates. Verify servo motor flange dimensions (LA, LB, LC bolt circle) against the WPWD dimension table for your size before ordering. For servo applications, the WPWD worm gearbox self-locking characteristics may interact with servo positioning — consult our engineering team.
▶ Is the WPWD available with hollow bore output?
Yes — the WPWDK adds K-type hollow bore to the WPWD’s IEC flange and universal body. See the WPWDK product entry for the complete motorised hollow bore universal gearbox specification.
▶ How does the D-split cover removal work in a non-horizontal installation?
In all 5 shaft direction configurations, the D-split housing separates along the centreline of the worm stage. The cover is the upper half relative to the installed orientation. Loosen the cover bolts and lift the cover — motor and driven shaft remain connected. The worm wheel is then accessible in any orientation without system teardown.
▶ What oil grade should I use in the WPWD for food processing environments?
For food-adjacent environments, specify NSF H1 food-grade ISO VG 150 (light food-grade oil for sizes 40–75) or NSF H1 ISO VG 220 (for sizes 90–250). Fill to the orientation-specific level from the WPWD installation guide for your shaft direction configuration.
