Dayton 6Z442 Speed Reducer 60:1 Indirect Drive

SKU CH-9YF2-PTF73

Indirect-drive worm-gear reducer with 60:1 ratio, 750 RPM input, 29 RPM output, 0.75 HP max input and 1,021 in-lb output torque

  • 60:1 ratio reduces 1,750 RPM input to 29 RPM output
  • 75 hp maximum input handles standard-duty industrial loads
  • 1,021 in-lb output torque drives demanding machinery
  • 62 in worm center distance fits existing mounting layouts
  • Cast iron housing with ball bearings resists wear in continuous operation

Industrial Speed Reducer

The Dayton 6Z442 is a right-angle worm-gear speed reducer built for standard-duty power-transmission tasks. It accepts a single input shaft and delivers a single output shaft with a 60:1 nominal ratio. Forward and reversible rotation is supported, making it suitable for conveyor, mixer and positioning equipment where a fixed speed reduction is required.

Thermal and Power Characteristics

The unit is rated for a maximum input of 0.75 hp at 750 rpm, producing 29 nominal output rpm and up to 1,021 in-lb of output torque. Cast-iron housing and ball bearings dissipate heat during continuous operation while the hardened steel pinion resists wear. Overhung load capacity reaches 1,300 lb, allowing direct coupling of pulleys or sprockets without additional support bearings.

Included Hardware and Compliance

The reducer ships assembled with a 1-1/4 inch output shaft diameter and a 2.62 inch worm center distance, ready for mounting. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals identified by the state as causing cancer and reproductive harm. No lubricant, mounting bolts or coupling accessories are included in the package.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Dayton 6Z442 speed reducer and set the 2.62 in worm center distance?

Bolt the cast-iron housing to a rigid, flat base so the input and output shafts align with the driven equipment; use shims under the feet to achieve the 2.62 in center distance, then tighten mounting bolts in a cross pattern to prevent housing twist.

What lubrication schedule does the hardened-steel pinion and worm gear need?

Fill the unit with the recommended worm-gear oil to the sight-glass level before startup; drain and refill after the initial run-in period, then repeat at regular intervals based on operating temperature and load.

At what point does the 1,300 lb overhung load rating limit the output shaft?

The 1,300 lb overhung load rating is reached when the radial force on the 1 1/4 in output shaft exceeds that value; keep pulley or sprocket diameter large enough and mount it close to the housing to stay within the limit.
