Boston Gear

Boston Gear 724-60-G Transmission Fluid 60:1 Ratio 0.5 HP

SKU CH-FWJJ-2NTCK

A 60:1 worm speed reducer delivers 29 RPM output and 772 in-lb torque from 0.5 hp input

  • Boston Gear worm reducer delivers 772 in-lb output torque for heavy loads
  • 60:1 ratio cuts input speed to 29 RPM for precise motion control
  • 5 HP input rating matches light-duty motor applications
  • Cast iron housing with powder-coated epoxy resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Tapered roller bearings handle 900 lb overhung load for reliable shaft support

Application and purpose

This Boston Gear 724-60-G speed reducer provides a 60:1 gear ratio with indirect drive for machinery requiring substantial speed reduction. It suits applications needing up to 0.5 hp input power and 772 in-lb output torque in a cast iron housing.

Installation checks

Verify that your shaft arrangement matches the round output shaft and indirect drive input connection. Confirm the 2.38 in worm center distance and 2.5 in base to center height align with your mounting pattern. Ensure rotation direction CW/CCW is compatible and the 900 lb overhung load capacity meets your radial force requirements.

Sustained load behaviour

The hardened and ground steel worm gear with tapered roller bearings is built for continuous operation at the rated 0.5 hp and 29 RPM maximum output speed. The cast iron housing with powder coated epoxy paint resists wear and corrosion during extended duty cycles, delivering consistent torque without the overheating risks seen in lighter-duty units.

Questions about this item

Does the 724-60-G reducer ship with oil already in the cast-iron housing or must I buy lubricant separately?

The reducer is supplied dry; you must purchase the recommended worm-gear lubricant separately and fill to the correct level before start-up.

How do I decide whether the 60:1 ratio and 0.5 hp input suit my application?

Choose this model when you need 29 rpm output, up to 772 in-lb torque and a 60:1 reduction from a half-horsepower motor.

What does the 772 in-lb torque rating mean once the reducer is mounted on my machine?

It is the maximum continuous output torque the hardened steel worm gear can deliver at 29 rpm without exceeding the 0.5 hp input limit.
