Brake Worm Gear Motor
The Industrial AC Brake Worm Gear Motor integrates an AC induction motor, a fail-safe electromagnetic brake, and a right-angle worm gear speed reducer into a single compact housing. Standardized according to IEC and NEMA metric mounting dimensions, this system is engineered for industrial automation, vertical lifting, and dynamic mechanical transmission systems requiring rapid stopping, high reduction ratios, and static self-locking performance.
Product Overview
The Industrial AC Brake Worm Gear Motor integrates an AC induction motor, a fail-safe electromagnetic brake, and a right-angle worm gear speed reducer into a single compact housing. Standardized according to IEC and NEMA metric mounting dimensions, this system is engineered for industrial automation, vertical lifting, and dynamic mechanical transmission systems requiring rapid stopping, high reduction ratios, and static self-locking performance.
By combining precision-ground worm shaft geometry with high-purity phosphor bronze gearing, this unit delivers high continuous output torque while occupying minimal axial footprint. The direct-coupled power-off brake provides instant static load holding, eliminating overrun during unexpected electrical failures or repeated positioning cycles.
Key Features
Fail-Safe Electromagnetic Brake: Spring-applied DC brake mechanism automatically locks the motor shaft upon power loss to maintain load stability.
Self-Locking Right-Angle Design: High reduction ratio profile reduces or eliminates reverse back-driving from the load side without continuous electrical holding power.
Class F Thermal Insulation Rating: Stator winding insulation engineered to handle operating temperatures up to 155°C (with Class B temperature rise limits), supporting S1 continuous duty and frequent start-stop cycles.
Hardened Steel & Phosphor Bronze Gearing: 20CrMnTi alloy steel worm shaft paired with ZCuSn10Pb1 phosphor bronze worm rim delivers minimal tooth friction, reduced backlash, and low operating noise (<65 dBA).
IP55 Ingress Protection Standard: Die-cast housing with high-grade nitrile seals prevents particulate contamination and low-pressure water jet penetration in harsh industrial environments.

Selection Guide
To determine the correct drive sizing for your application, calculate output torque (T₂), motor efficiency (η), and load service factors (SF) using the standard formulas below:
Calculation Formulas
T₂ = (9550 × P₁ × η) / n₂
P₁ = Motor Input Power (kW)
n₂ = Gearbox Output Speed (RPM)
η = Efficiency of Worm Gear Pair (Typically 0.60 - 0.88 depending on speed ratio)
T_required = T₂ × SF
Service Factor (SF) Reference
Select a minimum Service Factor based on operational characteristics:
Uniform Load / S1 Duty (8 hours/day): SF ≥ 1.0 - 1.25
Moderate Shock / Continuous Duty (24 hours/day): SF ≥ 1.3 - 1.5
Heavy Shock / Frequent Start-Stop (>300 cycles/hour): SF ≥ 1.75 - 2.0
Static Brake Torque Matching
Ensure the static brake torque (Tb) satisfies:
Tb ≥ 1.5 × T_motor rated
Manufacturing & Quality Control
Raw Material Inspection → CNC Turning & Gear Hobbing → Carburizing & Thread Grinding
Final Testing & Dispatch ← 100% Automated Testing Bench ← VPI Stator Assembly
Gear Machining & Heat Treatment: Worm shafts are machined from 20CrMnTi alloy steel, carburized to a case depth of 0.8–1.2 mm (HRC 58–62), and precision ground on CNC thread grinding machinery to ensure smooth surface finish and minimum tooth friction. Worm rims are centrifugal-cast from ZCuSn10Pb1 bronze to maximize wear resistance under heavy sliding loads.
Automated Stator Winding & Impregnation: Stator coils are wound via automated dual-flyer winding equipment using 180°C enamel-insulated copper wire. Assembled stators undergo Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) with solvent-free epoxy resin to prevent internal coil vibration and moisture buildup.
Quality Assurance & Testing: Every unit undergoes a 100% automated end-of-line test prior to packaging:
- No-Load / Full-Load Current Test: Verifies phase balance and power efficiency.
- Dielectric Withstand Voltage Test: 1800V AC applied for 1 second to ensure insulation integrity.
- Brake Response & Drag Test: Verifies air gap dimensions, millisecond release/engagement times, and zero dynamic drag torque.
- Noise Level & Vibration Run-In: Checked via digital sound level meters and tri-axial accelerometer sensors.
Certifications: ISO 9001 quality system compliance; product marks include CE, CCC, RoHS, and IE1/IE3/IE4 energy efficiency classifications.
FAQ
Q: What is the average switching response time for the brake?
A: When power is disconnected, the standard spring-applied DC brake engages in 20 to 50 ms. Using a fast-acting DC switching circuit on the rectifier side can reduce engagement time to under 15 ms.
Q: Can the gear motor be controlled via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
A: Yes. The motor windings use Class F insulation materials compatible with VFD voltage spikes (PWM control). When running below 30 Hz for extended periods, an optional forced cooling fan (IC416) is recommended to prevent thermal buildup.
Q: Does the worm gear unit require oil maintenance upon delivery?
A: Sizes 030 through 090 are factory-filled with synthetic lubricant (ISO VG 320) and sealed for life, operating maintenance-free within -20°C to +40°C. Larger cast-iron units (Sizes 110–150) are shipped with mineral gear oil and feature accessible fill, drain, and sight glass ports.
Q: How is the standard warranty handled for overseas OEM buyers?
A: Units carry a 12- to 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects, calculated from the Bill of Lading (B/L) date. Complete technical documentation, replacement coil assemblies, and 3D step CAD files are available for engineering review prior to order placement.
