Right Angle Worm Gear Reducers

Right-angle worm gear reducers deliver 90-degree power transmission in a compact, quiet, mechanically simple package. The worm-and-wheel geometry is naturally self-locking at high reduction ratios, which makes these units the default choice for hoists, winches, lifting gear, and indexing tables that need to hold a load without an external brake. They also fit cleanly into tight machine envelopes — packaging lines, conveyors, mixers, and process equipment — where a parallel-shaft footprint would not.

Northwest Power Products keeps common single- and double-reduction worm frames in Tacoma stock across Boston Gear, Winsmith, Cone Drive, Hub City, Grove Gear, and Morse, and we cross-reference older nameplates to current equivalents on center distance, ratio, output torque, and shaft dimensions. Same-day and next-day shipping cover most production-down calls; specialty configurations are factory-built with a confirmed lead time before you commit. When a housing is recoverable, in-house rebuild — gears, bearings, seals, and shafts — beats replacement on cost and turnaround.
