Description
EP-SSVF40 — Stainless Steel VF Worm Gear Reducer Overview
Machine designers who specify VF-style hollow-flange worm reducers for direct face-mount integration — eliminating shaft couplings and alignment procedures — need those same benefits in stainless steel for hygienic environments. The EP-SSVF40 Stainless Steel VF Worm Gear Reducer delivers the VF hollow-flange output in a 304 precision-cast, electropolished housing designed around the size-40 centre distance. As the entry-level full-size SSVF model, the SSVF40 accepts 63B5, 63B14, 71B5, and 71B14 IEC motor flanges, covering 0.06–0.18 kW applications. Its 64 mm housing face width and Ø75 mm input-flange bore make it the standard selection for compact food-line conveyors, small agitators in pharmaceutical vessels, and light-duty CIP-washdown machine drives where a face-mount stainless reducer is specified.

Core Features & Benefits
VF Hollow-Flange Output — Direct Face-Mount, Zero Coupling
The SSVF40’s hollow-flange output (Ø91 mm bore, Ø69 mm output flange pilot) mounts directly to a mating driven-machine flange, eliminating shaft coupling, coupling guard, and the misalignment-induced wear that couplings introduce over time.
304 Stainless Input & Output Flanges — Full Material Consistency
Both the input PAM-IEC adapter and the hollow output flange are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, ensuring no galvanic corrosion risk at either interface in wet or chemically aggressive environments.
Compact 64 mm Face Width — Integrates Where RV-Body Gearboxes Cannot
The VF body architecture is inherently 15–20% shorter in the shaft-axis direction than an equivalent RV-body (SSRV040) for the same centre distance, enabling face-mount integration in machine-frame depths that would not accommodate a foot-mounted alternative.
Ratios 7.5–100:1 — Single Housing Size Covers Wide Speed Range
All 11 standard ratios (7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100:1) are available in the size-40 SSVF housing, eliminating the need to re-engineer the machine frame when changing speed ratios for different product variants.
H1 Food-Grade Synthetic Oil — Factory Filled
The SSVF40 is factory-filled with H1-registered food-grade fully synthetic ISO VG 150 worm gear oil, enabling direct compliance with food-safety requirements without an oil-change step before commissioning in food and pharmaceutical plants.


Industry Applications & Typical Use Cases
Pharmaceutical Vessel Agitators
Small-batch pharmaceutical mixers and vessel agitators with direct face-mount motor connections specify the SSVF40 for its VF hollow flange, stainless construction, and 304 output shaft compatibility with GMP vessel connections.
Cosmetics & Personal Care Lines
Filling machines and mixing heads in cosmetics and personal care manufacturing require hygienic drives with compact face-mount geometry. The SSVF40’s VF flange integrates directly into vessel head flanges.
Confectionery Enrobing Drives
Chocolate enrobing belts and decorating drum drives in confectioneries benefit from the SSVF40’s ratio range (7.5–100:1), stainless housing, and silent worm mesh that prevents vibration-related chocolate bloom defects.
Light-Duty Packaging Machinery
Blister-pack indexing, tablet-counter conveyors, and dose-dispensing carousels in pharmaceutical packaging lines use the SSVF40’s compact 64 mm footprint for integration in tight machine frames.
Steam Sterilisation Drive Systems
Autoclave loading drives and SIP-validated vessel agitators in bioprocess applications require drives that withstand steam sterilisation cycles. The SSVF40’s 304 housing tolerates 134°C steam exposure in short SIP cycles.
Selection Guide, FAQ & Customer Reviews
How to Select the Right SSVF Model
1. Define required output torque (Nm) and output speed (rpm) from your process requirements. 2. Calculate ratio = motor speed ÷ output speed. 3. Match motor frame to available PAM-IEC adapters for EP-SSVF40. 4. Check VF flange compatibility — confirm your driven-machine flange accepts the SSVF40 output-flange PCD (KP=110 mm, 9 bolt holes). 5. Specify accessories — 304 SS output shaft (DS/SS), torque arm, or ..F flange option as needed.
Certifications & Quality Standards
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
⭐ Customer Reviews
“Installed SSVF40 on our GMP vessel agitators. The VF hollow-flange mounts directly to our vessel head — no coupling, no alignment issues. The electropolished surface passed our FDA audit without comment. We’ve standardised this as our preferred hygienic drive.”
Sarah Mitchell — Pharmaceutical Equipment Pty Ltd

“Fitted on our filling machine mixer drives. The VF face-mount design saved significant space compared with the foot-mounted SSRV units we had previously. Ratio 40:1 gives us exactly the agitation speed we need. Very satisfied with the build quality.”
Marco Bianchi — Cosmetici Industriali Srl
Italy 🇮🇹
“SSVF40 on our tablet counting conveyor drives. Compact, quiet, stainless — exactly the specification our machine required. The H1 oil pre-fill was a helpful time-saver during commissioning. Would like longer output shaft extension option in future.”
