STM RMI 70 40:1 Worm Gearbox – 28mm Hollow Bore

This STM RMI 70 40:1 worm gearbox is a compact right-angle reducer with a 28mm hollow bore output, built for mixers, feeders, indexing systems, and machinery that benefits from slower output speed and stronger torque. The RMI 70 frame uses a die-cast aluminium housing, modular IEC motor input options, and the proven STM wormgear design for quiet running and dependable industrial service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a 40:1 worm gearbox do?

A 40:1 worm gearbox reduces input speed by a factor of 40, increasing available output torque while lowering output speed for controlled mechanical drive.

What is the STM RMI 70 gearbox commonly used for?

The STM RMI 70 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 28mm hollow bore?

Yes, this version is configured with a 28mm 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 70 size in this range, the housing is die-cast aluminium, giving a good balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance for industrial use.
