Use the Morse PT-93 Catalog to select a Speed Reducer
Select a worm gear speed reducer for a bark conveyor at a paper mill. The speed reducer will be
driven by a 1750-RPM electric motor directly connected by a coupling. The conveyor will

operate six hours per day and the head shaft speed will be 47 RPM. Calculations indicate that 2000-inch pounds of torque are needed at the conveyor head shaft.1.What is the service factor for the given application?
2.What is the overall drive ratio?
3.If a belt drive is used for the secondary reduction, what should be the ratio of the worm gear reducer? Belt drive ratio is 1.24.
