New Stainless Steel 700 Series Worm Gear Speed Reducer
Boston Gear stands up to caustic washdowns

January 31, 2008 — Quincy, Mass. — Boston Gear, an Altra Industrial Motion Company, announces the availability of the new Stainless Steel 700 Series Worm Gear Speed Reducer.

For decades, industries have relied on the proven technology of Boston Gear 700 Series worm gear technology for long-lasting, high-quality performance. The new Stainless Steel 700 Series takes that trusted performance to new levels by providing maximum corrosion resistance in challenging, caustic washdown environments in the food and beverage industry.

Utilizing the trusted 700 Series worm gearing combined with a new, innovative exterior design, the new Stainless Steel 700 Series' performance has been optimized to withstand the harshest caustic conditions. The housings, motor flange, and carrier are crafted from 316SS to endure tough, caustic washdowns. The integral input worm and shaft are made from high-strength, case-hardened alloy steel for long-lasting performance.

The rounded housing design, plastic hardware covers, and two-piece mounting base prevent particle accumulation or fluid pooling on or under the unit. The two-piece mounting base has the same footprint of the standard 700 Series for easy replacement. The large internal oil reservoir is filled with H1 food-grade lubricant (Klubersynth UH 1 6-460) and sealed for life, providing a wide range of operating temperatures and extended wear life.

Boston Gear Stainless Steel 700 Series Worm Gear Speed Reducers are available for guaranteed same-day air shipment through Boston Gear's Reducer Express™ program.
