WM Series Rolling Mill Drives

The WM Series Rolling Mill Drive range of gearboxes is a precision-engineered extension of the renowned WM Series.  This latest innovation combines the legendary reliability of Renold gearing redesigned to meet the extreme demands of the roll forming industry. 

For decades, Renold has supported the roll forming sector using standard worm gear units. However, standard industrial units are often designed for torque-limited applications, which frequently forced manufacturers to select oversized gearboxes to meet the specific rigors of roll forming. This over-sizing often resulted in wasted capacity and unnecessary costs for the end user. 

The new WM Series Rolling Mill Drives eliminate this inefficiency. By focusing on application-specific engineering, Renold has optimised the internal geometry to deliver class-leading strength within a more compact footprint. 

Key benefits of the new series include:

• Size Reduction: The optimised design allows for a frame size reduction of up to two sizes compared to standard units.
• Cost Competitiveness: Smaller frame sizes and the use of standardised components significantly lower the unit price without compromising performance.
• Legacy Quality: Despite the redesign, the series continues to utilise Renold’s trusted tooling and high-quality blanks, ensuring long-term durability.

The WM Series Rolling Mill Drives are available now, offering a more competitive, streamlined solution for manufacturers looking to maximize value and performance of their Roll Forming applications.
