Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 5:1 worm gearbox do?

A 5:1 worm gearbox reduces input speed by a factor of 5, increasing available output torque while lowering output speed for controlled mechanical drive.

What is the STM RMI 40 gearbox commonly used for?

The STM RMI 40 is commonly used on conveyors, packaging machinery, feeders, automation equipment, and general industrial systems that need compact right-angle power transmission.

Is this gearbox supplied with a 19mm hollow bore?

Yes, this version is configured with a 19mm hollow bore output to suit compatible driven shafts and coupling arrangements.

What mounting positions can this gearbox be used in?

STM RMI units support M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, and M6 mounting positions. On smaller sizes such as this range, the gearbox is supplied arranged for M1 unless a different arrangement is specified where relevant.

What housing material is used on this STM RMI gearbox?

For the RMI 40 size in this range, the housing is die-cast aluminium, giving a good balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance for industrial use.
