Our new S..7power series offers even higher torque for all seven sizes, which ensures you can benefit from a higher power density. Torque on the S..7p series is up to 65 % higher than on standard S..7 helical-worm gear units.

Lubrication

Besides lubricating the gearing, gear oils also play a significant role in dissipating heat in gear units. Our new lubricant SEW GearOil Poly increases the performance of worm gear units by reducing friction in the gear teeth in particular. As a result, the helical-worm gear units can be pushed to a higher torque. SEW GearOil Poly forms a highly effective lubrication film, which increases the service life of both the lubricant itself and wear parts such as sealing rings and bearings. SEW GearOil Poly also improves the efficiency of the helical-worm gear units.

Efficiency

The way power and speed are transmitted in helical-worm gearing generates a high level of sliding friction between the worm and worm gear. Using SEW GearOil Poly ensures outstanding lubrication and optimum heat dissipation at every operating point, which fundamentally enhances efficiency. As a result, it has been possible to increase the efficiency of S..7p helical-worm gear units by up to 13 percentage points. This effect is particularly noticeable on the large gear ratios and is hugely beneficial. This enhanced efficiency immediately gives you a higher usable output torque for the same motor power. If the higher output torque is not taken off, consumption is reduced at the same speed and you save energy and benefit from reduced energy costs.

More power or more reserves

The increased torques mean that, in the best-case scenarios, you can select the next size down, as you can now take off higher torques in a smaller space or, if you cannot vary the gear unit size, you have greater safety/reserves in your drive.

Then use our modular system and combine the helical-worm gear units of the S series or the new S..7p series with an AC motor to form an S..DR.. helical-worm gearmotor or with a servomotor to form an S..CMP helical-worm servo gearmotor of your choice. Or simply choose the separate AC motor that meets your requirements or servomotor.
