AutomationDirect WG-175-040-R Worm Gear Reducer

AutomationDirect's IronHorse WG-175-040-R Worm Gear Reducer is a cast-iron, single-stage worm gearbox offering a 40:1 reduction in a compact, rugged package. It accepts a NEMA 56C input with right-hand orientation and drives a 0.875 in output shaft. With a center distance of 1-3/4 in and a nominal 1,750 rpm input, the output is about 44 rpm, delivering steady torque for demanding loads in a space-constrained footprint. This WG-175-series unit is described by AutomationDirect as a general-purpose, iron-housing worm gearbox designed for reliable torque transfer in industrial applications where a small form factor matters. The 040-R suffix identifies the 40:1 reduction and right-hand output, aligning with other WG-175 family members in the same mounting pattern and performance class.
