The Boston Gear 35770 700 Series Worm Gear Speed Reducer is engineered to provide reliable and efficient torque reduction in various industrial applications. Designed for single reduction with a 50:1 gear ratio, this unit delivers a 1.2 horsepower input and a 0.89 horsepower output, effectively reducing input speeds to achieve desired output speeds. Its rugged housing, fabricated from fine-grained, gear-quality cast iron, ensures maximum strength and durability, while the precision-ground worm threads enhance gearbox efficiency. The large oil reservoir facilitates efficient heat dissipation and lubrication, extending the operating life of the reducer. The multi-position mounting flexibility allows for installation in virtually any position, and internal baffles assure positive, leak-free venting. The high-strength bronze worm gear is straddle-mounted between heavy-duty tapered roller bearings, increasing thrust and overhung load capacities. The high-strength steel output shaft is designed to handle high torque and overhung loads. Pipe plugs enable easy fill, level, and drain in any mounting position, and the super-finished oil-seal diameters on both input and output shafts extend seal life. This speed reducer is suitable for applications requiring a 50:1 gear ratio and is compatible with various mounting configurations.
