WP Series Worm Gear Reducer – Operating Environment & Application Conditions Guide


WP Series Operating Environment – Temperature, Lubrication & Conditions

The WP series worm gear reducer is built with a cast iron housing for durability in harsh environments. However, operating conditions directly impact performance and service life.

Temperature Limits

ConditionRequirement
Standard operating range-10°C to +40°C
Below 0°CHeat lubricating oil to above 0°C before startup
Above 40°CApply cooling measures
High temperature (>60°C)Use synthetic oil (PAO-based)

Lubrication Guidelines

●Standard environment (-10°C to 40°C) : Use L-CKC 220 lubricating oil

Humid environments: Consider enhanced protection to prevent internal corrosion

Initial oil change: After first 400 hours of operation

Regular oil change: Every 4,000 hours thereafter

Input Speed Limit

WP worm shaft speed must not exceed 1500 r/min – exceeding this limit accelerates wear and reduces service life

Application Environments

WP series reducers excel in mining, metallurgy, chemical, food processing, packaging, and material handling – environments where cast iron durability is essenti
