Tec FCNDK40 80:1 Worm Gearbox – 18mm Bore, 63B14 Input

Built around the FCNDK40 modular worm gearbox platform, this 80:1 version gives buyers a compact right-angle drive with 18mm hollow bore output and 63B14 motor input compatibility. It is commonly selected for positioning systems, slow-turning mechanisms, compact handling equipment, and controlled movement applications where very slow output speed for high-reduction, higher-torque applications is needed without overcomplicating the drive layout.

Gearbox Overview

The FCNDK40 size sits in the compact part of the range and uses a pressure die-cast aluminium housing. In this configuration, the gearbox is suited to installations where a 63B14 motor input and 18mm output bore are already specified, while the 80:1 ratio delivers approximately 17rpm output speed from a 4 pole 1400rpm motor.

---

Why Choose This Configuration?

This very high-ratio configuration is intended for applications needing very slow output speed and substantial reduction. It is a sensible choice for controlled positioning, heavier-duty slow-running drives, and equipment where higher torque at lower speed is more important than fast output.
