WPDKA Single Speed Cast Iron Worm Reducer — WP Series

The WPDKA combines D-type split housing, IEC motor flange input, and K-type hollow bore output in one cast iron worm reducer. Sizes 40–250 mm, ratio 1/5–1/60. One unit replaces gearbox, motor adaptor, and output coupling — reducing component count by three.

Description

WPDKA Cast Iron Worm Reducer — Product Overview

Most drive trains require three separate components between motor and driven shaft: a motor adaptor, a gearbox, and an output coupling. The WPDKA consolidates all three functions into a single cast iron worm reducer. The integrated IEC motor flange mounts the motor directly — no adaptor. The K-type hollow bore output receives the driven shaft directly — no coupling. The D-type split housing enables in-situ worm wheel maintenance — no teardown.

The result is the lowest component count, shortest installed drive length, and fastest maintenance access available in the WP worm reducer series. One WPDKA unit replaces gearbox plus adaptor plus coupling across the full size range of 40–250 mm centre distance.

WPDKA Worm Reducer — Core Features

■ D-Type Split Housing — In-Situ Maintenance

Remove the top cover with motor and driven shaft in place. Inspect and replace the worm wheel without disconnecting any drive train element — the fastest maintenance access in the WP series.

■ IEC Motor Flange — Zero Adaptor Plate

Factory-machined IEC 72-1 flange accepts A02/Y-series motors frames 56–355 directly. Eliminates one component and one potential misalignment source from the drive train.

■ K-Type Hollow Bore — No Output Coupling

Precision H7-tolerance bore with GB/T 1095 keyway. Insert the driven shaft directly and key. No coupling lubrication, no coupling fatigue failure, and no coupling mass on the shaft overhang.

■ One Unit Replaces Three Components

WPDKA replaces the motor adaptor plate + gearbox + output coupling, reducing BOM count by two components, installation time by approximately 50%, and total installed drive length by 60–200 mm depending on size.

■ FC20+ Cast Iron Housing — Full Rigidity

Triple-feature architecture does not compromise structural integrity. The WPDKA retains FC20+ cast iron with 95°C continuous oil temperature rating, identical to the standard WPA.

■ Sizes 40–250 mm — Full Power Range Covered

Covers 0.12 kW (size 40) to 15.0 kW (size 250), with output torques from 5 Nm to 3,025 Nm — the complete range of standard OEM machine building and industrial conveyor drives.

WPDKA Worm Reducer — Industry Applications

WPDKA worm reducer construction and OEM machine building applications

⚒ OEM Compact Machine Design

Machine builders achieving the tightest possible drive envelope choose the WPDKA — IEC motor mounts direct, driven shaft inserts direct, and split cover provides maintenance access without disassembly.

⚙ Chemical & Wastewater Agitators

Agitator shafts insert through the hollow bore with no exposed coupling in corrosive process fluids. D-type housing enables annual worm wheel checks during routine maintenance windows without removing the motor.

⚊ Compact Conveyor Drive Packages

Shaft-mounted WPDKA with IEC motor reduces the installed height of conveyor head drive assemblies by eliminating adaptor and coupling components — critical in low-headroom installations.

⚙ Construction Equipment Drives

Robust FC20+ cast iron handles the shock loading of construction equipment drives. Triple-function design simplifies the drive system bill of materials for equipment manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions — WPDKA Worm Reducer

▶ What makes the WPDKA different from the WPDA and WPKA individually?
The WPDKA combines all three features: D-type split housing (in-situ maintenance access), IEC motor flange input (no motor adaptor), and K-type hollow bore output (no output coupling). The WPDA has the IEC flange and split housing but a solid output shaft. The WPKA has the hollow bore but a standard solid input shaft.
▶ Which motor frame sizes fit the WPDKA IEC input flange?
Same as WPDA: sizes 40–80 accept frames 56–130; sizes 100–135 accept frames 130–200; sizes 155–250 accept frames 160–300. Verify motor LA, LB, LC dimensions against the WPDKA dimension drawing.
▶ How is the output shaft connected to the WPDKA hollow bore?
Insert the driven shaft into the K-type bore to the shoulder mark. Align the keyway and install the supplied key. Tighten set screws to the specified torque. Mount the torque arm reaction bracket to prevent housing rotation under load.
▶ Can the WPDKA housing top cover be removed with the motor attached?
Yes — this is the primary maintenance benefit of the D-type split housing. The top cover is removed without disturbing the motor flange joint or the driven shaft, enabling worm wheel inspection and replacement in-situ.
▶ Is the WPDKA suitable for VFD motor control?
Yes. Maintain input shaft speed between 600–1,600 rpm for adequate lubrication splash. Below 300 rpm, consider forced lubrication. Ensure the VFD output frequency does not cause the input shaft to run continuously below 10 Hz without a supplementary lubrication system.
