Description
MODEL: Kimpo KA080 (Price is negotiable)
The Kimpo KA080 is a cast-iron worm gear speed reducer. Known for their rugged construction and reliability, they are a staple in industrial settings where high torque and substantial speed reduction are needed for moderate to heavy-duty tasks.
Features
The KA series is typically designed as a solid shaft reducer with a vertical or horizontal mounting orientation (depending on the specific model variation).
-
-
Standard Gear Ratios: Generally available in 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, and 1:60.
-
Frame Sizes: Common sizes include 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 120, 135, 155, 175, 200, and 250.
-
Material: Robust gray cast iron housing for heat dissipation and vibration dampening.
-
Lubrication: Oil-bath lubrication (most units come pre-filled or require specific gear oil before commissioning).
-
Applications
Because of the self-locking nature of high-ratio worm gears (where the output cannot easily drive the input), the KA series is popular in:
-
Conveyor Systems: For controlled movement and preventing “roll-back.”
-
Mixers & Agitators: Where high torque at low RPM is essential.
-
Agricultural Machinery: For grain elevators or feeders.
