Worm Gear – WP Series

WP Series Heavy Duty Worm Gear Reducer: High Torque Industrial Gearbox

This worm gear reducer is built to deliver high torque, exceptional strength and long operational life. With a cast iron body and precision machined components, it performs reliably in demanding industrial applications such as conveyor systems, automated packaging lines, textile machinery and pharmaceutical equipment.

The unit gives smooth power transmission, low noise and zero routine maintenance thanks to its factory lubricated system. It suits both light and heavy load operation, with a wide range of gear ratios and power capacities. Available in body sizes 40 to 250 with input power from 0.06 kW to 15 kW, supplied from Lahore across Pakistan.

WP Series or NMRV: Which Worm Gearbox Should You Choose?

The WP series has a cast iron body for heavy duty work and a wide choice of sizes. The NMRV series is a compact, lighter option in sizes 025 to 150, popular for light to medium conveyors and packaging machines. Read WP vs NMRV for a head to head comparison, or see the NMRV size guide for the compact range.

How to Select a WP Series Unit

Check the output speed, torque, service factor, mounting position and motor flange before you order. Our worm gear reducer specification guide walks through each step, and the service factor guide shows how to size for shock loads and long hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WP series worm gearbox?

It is a heavy duty, cast iron worm gear reducer from MV Power Drive for 0.06 kW to 15 kW input power, in body sizes 40 to 250.

What ratios are available?

Single stage ratios from 1:5 to 1:100, and double stage ratios from 1:200 up to 1:900.

Is a worm gearbox good for high torque?

Yes. The worm and wheel give a high reduction in a single stage, which multiplies torque. A cast iron body and bronze wheel help it carry heavy loads.

Is the WP series maintenance free?

The unit is factory filled with lubricant, so no routine top up is needed. For duty specific guidance, see our oil change interval and grade guide.

Can I buy the WP series with a motor?

Yes. We supply the gearbox alone or paired with a motor. Contact us for combinations.

Where can I buy a heavy duty worm gearbox in Pakistan?

MV Power Drive in Lahore supplies the WP series nationwide.
