SA37 Hollow Shaft Gear Reducer - 37mm Worm Gearbox without Motor

Supply capacity: 600 sets/month
Delivery time: 5-10 weeks
Packing: Standard export wooden crate
Port: NINGBO / SHANGHAI PORT
Warranty: one year

The SA37 hollow shaft gear reducer replaces a coupling with a bore. Instead of bolting a solid shaft to the driven machine, the SA37 slides straight onto the machine shaft and is locked with a key or a shrink disc - one less alignment problem, one less guard to buy. Behind that bore sits the familiar WGT helical-worm gear set, so a 37 mm frame still reaches high ratios at 90 degrees.

Why the SA37 Uses a Hollow Output

  • Hollow bore takes the driven shaft directly - no flexible coupling, no separate bearing pedestal
  • Keyed or shrink-disc clamping, chosen to suit the shaft the customer already has
  • Torque-arm reaction so the unit does not spin with the shaft
  • Helical input stage plus worm output; self-locking tendency when the drive stops
  • Same centre distance as the SA37, so brackets and chain guards stay in place

Getting a Quotation for the SA37

Tell us the driven shaft diameter, the ratio you need and the reaction you can support, and WGT returns a dimension drawing plus a firm price. If you are replacing a unit that is already on the machine, a photo of the nameplate is usually enough for us to identify the frame. Every SA37 gear reducer ships in an export wooden crate with a one-year warranty.

Selection Example: Small agitator on a tank top

Take a 1.1 kW four-pole motor (1400 rpm) turning an agitator at 47 rpm. The ratio follows directly: 1400 / 47 = 29.8, so i=30 is selected. In this case the hollow output drops straight onto the agitator shaft - no coupling, no pedestal. The same three numbers - motor speed, target output speed, required torque - are all you need; our engineers (or the online selector below) cross-check the service factor for your duty cycle.

Common Models in the SF Series

ModelCentre distanceOutputTypical duty
SF3737 mmsolid shaft, footsmall conveyors, dosing
SF4747 mmsolid shaft, footpackaging, dosing pumps
SF5757 mmsolid shaft, footbelt conveyors, stirrers
SF6767 mmsolid shaft, footmixers, feeders
SF7777 mmsolid shaft, footturntables, elevators
SF8787 mmsolid shaft, footscrew conveyors, washers
SF9797 mmsolid shaft, footthickeners, kilns
SF107107 mmsolid shaft, footheavy material handling

The table below lists the eight foot-mounted frames; naming makes selection easy: S = solid shaft, SA = hollow shaft, SAF = hollow shaft with flange, SAZ = torque-arm version - all sharing the same gear set and centre distance as the SF foot model.

Application Cases

Municipal wastewater plant

A municipal wastewater plant replaced twelve ageing agitator drives with SA-series helical worm units. Sealed housings and NAK oil seals stood up to the humid atmosphere, and the hollow-shaft mounting let the maintenance crew swap units without touching the mixer shafts.

Stone quarry conveyor

A stone quarry runs SF87 reducers on its primary conveyor. Shock loads from oversized rock are absorbed by the case-hardened gears (surface HRC58-62), and after two years of continuous duty the units still run within their original 68 dB noise spec.

Frequently Asked Questions

How efficient is a helical worm gear reducer?

The two-stage design reaches 94%~96% efficiency depending on the transmission stage - well above a single-stage worm unit, because the helical input stage handles the first reduction with less sliding loss.

What is the difference between SF, S, SA, SAF and SAZ versions?

They share one gear set: SF is foot-mounted with solid shaft, S is shaft-mounted, SA has a hollow output shaft, SAF adds a flange, and SAZ is the torque-arm version. Pick by mounting, not by performance.

Can this unit mount on my existing installation without redesign?

Yes - the series is manufactured to the same centre distances, shafts and flange dimensions of the common industry frames, so couplings, guards and foundations stay untouched.
