YOUR REQUIREMENTS OUR EXPERTISE WG20 is the first geared motor range to be completely developed in-house at WEG. It comprises helical, parallel shaft, helical bevel and helical worm gear units with torques between 50 and 18,000 Nm. Already the two-stage units excel with their large ratio range, as well as being exceptionally efficient thanks to the sophisticated design. The light aluminium housings of the gear units up to 600 Nm and the robust cast iron housings from 800 Nm provide a highly versatile and reliable product, with a wide range of possible applications. HIGHLY EFFICIENT The gear units...

OPTIMISED DESIGN When creating the new gear unit range, the designers paid particular attention to develop a robust housing, opting for a light aluminium construction for the frame sizes up to 600 Nm. The die casting process used in production not only benefits from a smooth surface for demanding hygienic applications, but also features excellent heat conductivity. The housing design additionally enhances this property. The intelligently designed surface encourages heat dissipation from the internal gear parts, thereby aiding more efficient operation and a longer life. The housings for frame...

The helical gear units come in twelve housing sizes for nominal torques from 50 to 18,000 Nm and are available in both foot and flange designs. While the two smaller gear units (C00 and C01) are able to perform to their full potential with just two stages, the larger sizes C03 to C08 are available in both two or three stages for applications in higher torque ranges. From size C09 there is an additional fourth stage, while the C16 is even equipped with 5 gear stages.
