Universal W-Body Structure

WPWDK 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-IEC Flange + K Hollow Bore + Universal Body: Zero Couplings, All Orientations

WPWDK integrates three features: D-IEC motor flange (no input coupling), K hollow bore output (no output coupling), and WPW universal body (5 shaft directions). The complete zero-coupling motorised shaft-mount drive in any orientation.

■ D-Split Housing: In-Situ Service with Motor and Shaft Connected

D-split housing cover removes without disturbing the IEC motor or the hollow bore driven shaft — in all 5 shaft direction configurations. Universal in-situ serviceability for the zero-coupling drive system.

■ IEC Motor Frame Range: M8 to M16

Full range from M8 fractional (0.06 kW, size 40) to M16 heavy industrial (14+ kW, size 250). All IEC motor sizes for standard industrial conveyor and process drives are covered.

■ K Hollow Bore Rated for Full WP Torque Range

WPWDK hollow bore output is rated for full WP series output torques — up to 4,796 Nm at size 250. No torque derating for the combined IEC flange + hollow bore + universal body configuration.

■ 5 Shaft Direction Configurations — Full Universal Support

All 5 configurations (A–E) are available with the complete D+K feature set. Universal orientation coverage is maintained even with both IEC flange and hollow bore.

■ CE + ISO 9001:2000 for Full Feature Set

Every WPWDK is manufactured under ISO 9001:2000 with CE marking covering the D+K+universal configuration in all 5 shaft direction configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions — WPWDK

▶ What is the advantage of WPWDK over WPWK + separate motor?
WPWDK eliminates: (1) motor-to-gearbox coupling hardware, (2) coupling alignment procedure, (3) coupling maintenance. The IEC flange provides motor centreing accuracy that shaft coupling cannot match, reducing vibration and bearing wear. For shaft-mount drives in diverse orientations, the WPWDK reduces total drive component count by 2 per installation versus WPWK + coupling + motor adaptor.
▶ Can the WPWDK be used without the foot-mount base (pure shaft-mount)?
Yes. The hollow bore engages the driven shaft and the torque arm boss provides housing restraint. The IEC motor remains mounted on the flange during shaft-mount operation. The foot-mount base is not required.
▶ How does the hollow bore size relate to the motor power in the WPWDK?
Hollow bore diameter and motor power are determined by the gearbox size. For example, WPWDK size 90 has a 25mm hollow bore and accepts up to 6.98 kW input. The motor power must not exceed the gearbox rated input for the selected ratio — oversizing the motor beyond the gearbox rating is not permitted regardless of bore size.
▶ Is the WPWDK suitable for ATEX-rated environments?
The WPWDK mechanical gearbox itself is not an ignition source and does not require ATEX certification. However, the IEC motor connected to the WPWDK must be ATEX-rated for use in hazardous atmospheres. The WPWDK’s cast iron housing is compatible with ATEX motor installations — contact our applications team for zone-specific guidance.
▶ Can the WPWDK hollow bore and IEC flange be on the same side of the housing?
No. The IEC motor flange (D-type) is on the input side, and the hollow bore (K-type) is on the output side. These are on opposite sides of the worm gear stage — this is inherent to the worm gearbox geometry and cannot be changed. The input-output relationship is defined by the selected shaft direction configuration (A–E).
