Winsmith has launched a new line of Aluminum Speed Reducers available in round and square worm gear housing. Winsmith Aluminum Round Speed Reducers (ALRN, pictured below) and Aluminum Square Speed Reducers (ALSQ, pictured above) are dimensionally interchangeable with global manufacturers of right-angle worm gearboxes. These new single-piece aluminum housing gearboxes are built to order and can be assembled with various accessory options. Winsmith can ship these new products within 1-3 days from our Asheville, NC gearing facility. “The modular design of our Winsmith Aluminum Speed Reducers allows for precise assembly and quick delivery,” explained Crad Winkelvoss, Winsmith vice president/general manager. “These gearboxes are designed for machine builders who need optimized drives with regard to space, noise, torque and weight considerations.”

Available gearbox accessories include mounting feet, output flanges, single (solid) output shafts and reaction (torque) arms. Winsmith high-efficiency, right-angle gearing benefits include: •    Gearing that reduces energy losses due to optimized gearing geometry along with a precision ground and casehardened worm. •    Our robust, compact, lightweight design minimizes space and weight along with increasing life expectancy of supporting elements compared to cast iron products. •    Aluminum housing provides corrosion resistance and eliminates the risk of paint chips breaking off.
