Tec FCNDK30 50:1 Worm Gearbox – 14mm Bore, 56B14 Input

Built around the FCNDK30 modular worm gearbox platform, this 50:1 version gives buyers a compact right-angle drive with 14mm hollow bore output and 56B14 motor input compatibility. It is commonly selected for feed systems, small lifts, dosing equipment, and slow-running automation where slower output speed with stronger torque multiplication is needed without overcomplicating the drive layout.

Gearbox Overview

The FCNDK30 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 56B14 motor input and 14mm output bore are already specified, while the 50:1 ratio delivers approximately 28rpm output speed from a 4 pole 1400rpm motor.

Why Choose This Configuration?

This higher-ratio version is normally selected where the application needs stronger torque multiplication and slower shaft speed than lower-ratio options can provide. It works well for feeders, mixers, transfer drives, and machinery with more demanding load conditions.
