WPX eentraps gietijzeren wormwielreductor — WP-serie

De WPX addresses the mirror-image need to the WPO: applications where the driven shaft must exit downward — ceiling-mounted overhead conveyors, inverted drives, and gravity-feed mechanisms. The X-type output shaft exits vertically downward from the housing, while the motor input enters horizontally from either side via the bilateral worm shaft.

The WPX uses identical FC20+ cast iron housing, worm gear internals, and torque ratings to the WPA and WPO. The X-type designation changes only the output shaft direction — all 12 frame sizes, full 1/5–1/60 ratio range, and 2,371 Nm maximum output torque are retained.

■ X-Type Downward Output — Ceiling/Inverted Mount Ready

Output shaft exits vertically downward as standard. Mount the unit inverted on an overhead structure with the output pointing down — no right-angle adapter or bevel stage required.

■ Bilateral Horizontal Input — Motor from Either Side

The horizontal bilateral input shaft is retained in the WPX, allowing motor connection from either side of the overhead frame without a mirrored unit.

■ Oil Circuit for X-Type Downward Orientation

Oil volume and circulation geometry are specified for X-type inverted mounting. Fill to the WPX lubrication table mark — ensures adequate worm wheel submersion with output shaft pointing down.

■ Same Torque Capacity as WPA — 2,371 Nm Maximum

X-type designation affects output direction only. All WPX sizes deliver identical torque to their WPA counterparts — worm gear internals are unchanged.

■ 12 Frame Sizes: 40–250 mm

From 5 kg (size 40) to 340 kg (size 250), covering the full range of overhead conveyor and ceiling-mounted drive applications.

■ FC20+ Cast Iron Housing — Suitable for Inverted Mounting

Cast iron housing rigidity supports the weight of the drive unit in inverted ceiling-mount configurations without the housing distortion risk that affects lighter aluminium units under sustained load.

⚊ Overhead Mining Conveyors

Ceiling-mounted WPX units drive overhead conveyor head shafts directly with the downward output shaft, eliminating the right-angle attachment that horizontal-output reducers require in this configuration.

⚒ Hanging & Inverted Drive Systems

For overhead monorail, ceiling conveyor, and hanging process line drives, WPX inverted mounting with downward output is the cleanest drive solution — no angular attachment, no additional shaft change-of-direction hardware.

☷ Gravity Feed & Hopper Gates

WPX overhead mounting with downward output drives gravity feed gate mechanisms directly from above — compact, low-maintenance drive configuration for bulk material handling.

⚙ Overhead Process Line Drives

In automotive, electronics, and consumer goods assembly lines where conveyors run overhead, WPX ceiling-mount drives eliminate floor-level obstructions while keeping all drive hardware above the work envelope.

■ ISO 9001:2000 gecertificeerde productie

Elk product wordt vervaardigd volgens de ISO 9001:2000 kwaliteitsnorm. De inspectie van de grondstoffen, de tussentijdse controles en de eindtesten worden volledig gedocumenteerd en zijn traceerbaar aan het serienummer van elk product.

■ CE-markering — EU-machinerichtlijn 2006/42/EC

Volledige CE-conformiteit bevestigt de naleving van de Europese veiligheids- en ontwerpnormen voor mechanische krachtoverbrenging, waardoor export naar de EU, het VK, Australië en Nieuw-Zeeland mogelijk is.

■ Testen vóór verzending: Geluid, lekkage, koppel

Elk apparaat ondergaat drie tests: een geluidsniveau lager dan 68 dB(A) bij nominale belasting, een lektest van 30 minuten onder druk en een uitgangskoppel binnen ±5% van het nominale koppel. Apparaten die niet aan de eisen voldoen, worden herwerkt en niet verzonden.

■ FC20+ materiaalcertificering

Behuizingsonderdelen worden door middel van fabriekscertificaten voor FC20-kwaliteit gecontroleerd: minimale treksterkte van 220 MPa, hardheid van 160-200 HB. Ultrasoon defectonderzoek wordt uitgevoerd op onderdelen van maat 135 en groter.

“WPX-100 on our overhead mining conveyor drives. Ceiling-mount with downward output shaft directly onto the conveyor head shaft. Eliminated the angular drive attachment we previously needed.”

“Used WPX-80 on our hanging overhead conveyor system. Inverted mount with X-type downward output — straightforward installation. No custom brackets required.”

“WPX on our gravity feed hopper drives. X-type output directly drives the gate mechanism from above. Clean, compact installation with no right-angle attachment.”

“Good inverted drive configuration. WPX-135 on our overhead process line conveyors. Oil level adjustment for X-orientation was correctly specified in the documentation.”
