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.

A Compact Frame with a Full Helical Input

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.

Price, Lead Time and Support

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.

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.

Selection Example: Small screw conveyor in a bakery

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.

Where This Series Works in Practice

Flour mill screw conveyors

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.

Sawmill crusher drive

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.

Technical Questions, Answered

Which lubricating oil should be used?

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.

What warranty and documentation come with the gearbox?

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.
