Machine builders who need a mid-small worm gear speed reducer with a helical pre-stage usually shortlist the S47. The 47 mm centre distance covers a wide ratio band in a housing no larger than a shoebox, and because the first stage is helical the unit runs cooler and quieter than a plain worm gearbox of equal ratio - efficiency holds in the 94~96% band instead of falling away as reduction increases.
Heat build-up is modest because the helical stage does the fast work: maximum housing rise is 40 C and oil rise 50 C, both measured during factory run-in. The single-piece cast-iron housing at HBS190-240 is bored in one operation so input and output bores stay concentric; gears are 20CrMnTi, case-carburised to HRC58~62 over a tough HRC33~40 core, then precision-ground to grade 6~5.

Typical duty points where this unit is specified:
Every S47 leaves the plant factory-tested, with noise, temperature rise and backlash logged before packing. Standard lead time is 5-10 weeks; an urgent order can be prioritised. Send your ratio, output torque and mounting style and our engineers confirm the model the same day, quoting EXW or CIF as you prefer.
| Model | Centre distance | Output | Typical duty |
|---|---|---|---|
| S47 | 47 mm | solid shaft, foot | packaging, small mixers |
| S37 | 37 mm | solid shaft, foot | dosing screws, small conveyors |
| S57 | 57 mm | solid shaft, foot | bagging belts, stirrers |
| S67 | 67 mm | solid shaft, foot | paddle mixers, feeders |
| S77 | 77 mm | solid shaft, foot | turntables, elevators |
| S87 | 87 mm | solid shaft, foot | screw conveyors, washers |
| S97 | 97 mm | solid shaft, foot | thickeners, heavy conveyors |
All frames share one helical-worm gear set family, so a change of frame size rarely means a change of mounting: the S/SA/SF/SAF/SAZ suffixes describe the output shaft and mounting, never the gearing.
Take a 2.2 kW motor at 1420 rpm driving a screw conveyor at 71 rpm. The ratio follows directly: 1420 / 71 = 20, so i=20 fits with margin. In this case the 47 mm frame slides in beside the trough where a right-angle unit would foul. That single division gives the catalogue ratio; the service factor for your duty class is then applied to the torque, and the frame size follows.

Sizing flow: motor speed, target output speed, torque, service factor.
A flour mill standardised on SF57 gear reducers for its screw conveyor network. One spare-part pool now covers fifteen drives, and the smooth helical input stage keeps noise low in the packing hall.
A wood-processing plant drives its crusher with an SF97 unit. The cast-iron housing (HBS190-240) resists impact, and the high-torque worm stage starts the crusher under load without a soft-starter.
GB L-CKC220~460 or Shell Omala 220~460 as supplied. Under normal duty the housing is lubricated for life; in hot or continuous-duty environments an oil change after the first 400 hours and then every 4000 hours is recommended.
A one-year warranty covers material and workmanship. Each unit ships with a test record (noise, temperature rise, backlash), a dimension drawing and an installation manual.

One minute, one model. Skip the back-and-forth: configure your drive in the WGT Motor & Gearbox Online Selection System and send us the result for a same-day quotation.
Give us the driven machine, the required output speed and the daily running hours, and we return a confirmed model number with torque margin and a firm price - no obligation, no charge for the selection work.
