What is the optimal load for WHC150-54-II worm gear reducer
The optimal load for WHC150-54-II worm gear reducer is 70%~100% of the rated load (corresponding to an output torque of about 2800N. m~4000N. m), which can balance transmission efficiency, operational stability, and service life.Core Basis
Optimal load matching efficiency: The rated output torque of this model of reducer is about 4000N. m. Under 70%~100% rated load, the worm gear and worm are fully engaged, without "idle loss" under light load or "forced friction" under overload, and the transmission efficiency is maintained at 80%~85%.
Minimum component loss: In this load range, the tooth surface is subjected to uniform force, and the lubricating oil film can stably cover the meshing surface, reducing wear such as pitting and bonding. The bearing is also in a reasonable stress state, which can extend the life of the core components.

Strong operational stability: avoids sudden oil temperature rise and increased vibration caused by overload, and also avoids transmission shock under light load (less than 30% of rated load), maintaining smooth operation and reducing the probability of failure.
Special working condition adjustment
Long term continuous operation (such as 24-hour production line): It is recommended to control the rated load at 70%~90% to reduce component fatigue accumulation.
Intermittent operation (such as frequent start stop scenarios): It can approach 100% rated load for a short period of time, but it is necessary to avoid continuous overload (exceeding 110% rated load).
