The alpha V-Drive® is the newest of its generation in servo worm gearboxes, recently updated with new features and added torque. The latest standard offering is the washdown option, designed to better suit a multitude of applications requiring extra environmental protection.

The VDS (shaft output) and VDH (hollow output) gearhead versions have stainless-steel interfaces to provide superior service life in washdown applications. Accessories for these models are also available in stainless steel.

Another key feature of the V-Drive® washdown version is food-grade lubrication. This option allows the V-Drive® to be used in the food and packaging industry while not sacrificing torque capacity, which is maintained at 100%. The lubrication is NSF certified with a protection category of IP 65.

The V-Drive® worm gear is still the standard of choice for any duty requirements, providing the ultimate in longevity for applications with the industry’s longest life cycle – 4 times higher than comparable worm gears.
