Specification — 48V Worm Gear

48V BLDC Worm Gear Motor With Self-Locking For Gate Operators, Conveyors And Solar Trackers.

Worm gear reducers paired with brushless DC motors create a compact, self-locking drivetrain that holds position without a separate brake. At 48V, the system matches standard industrial battery banks and solar energy storage. Shenghe manufactures 48V BLDC worm gear motors from 50W to 400W with right-angle output, ratios from 10:1 to 60:1 and IP54 or IP65 protection.

  • Rated voltage 48V DC (42V–56V operating range)
  • 50W to 400W rated power
  • Worm gear ratio 10:1 – 60:1 with self-locking
  • Right-angle output, compact footprint
Why 48V Worm Gear BLDC

Benefits Of The 48V Worm Gear Configuration

  • Self-locking output holds load position when motor is off — no brake needed
  • Right-angle shaft arrangement saves space in tight installations
  • 48V matches standard solar battery banks and industrial UPS systems
  • Quiet operation — worm mesh produces less noise than spur gears
  • High reduction ratio in a single stage (up to 60:1)
  • Brushless motor longevity eliminates brush replacement in remote sites
