Hello,

Does anyone know of a company manufacturing worm-gear reducers, or any gear reducers in general, capable of operating in an environment of 150°C (302°F)?

Thanks in advance.

Those ambient temperatures are high - and the temperature of the gear lubricant when the reducer is in use will be higher still.

In theory they might function but a more viscous may be required and more frequent oil change with a synthetic lubricant will certainly be needed.
