RW: Worm Gear Actuator
Rock Worm Gear Solutions
The WedgeRock Performance Worm Gear line provides a conventional product with an unconventional advantage.
In performance applications, WedgeRock can provide up to 60% reduction in turns to operate over standard worm gears, supporting individual factor specifications for manual applications, or reducing operating times and required actuator size for motorized applications.
Manual or motorized, quarter turn or multi-turn, overrides, subsea or topside – WedgeRock has a worm gear design for every application.

WedgeRock RP (Planetary) & RBP (Bevel/Planetary)
Manual or motorizable operator for quarter, multi-turn, & thrust applications.
The WedgeRock RP allows for modular configurations. If a parallel input vs output is required, only planetary ratios need to be selected. If a perpendicular input vs output is required, or if the RP is being used in a rising stem application, a bevel must be selected. Each frame size can support up to two ratios. When the max ratio of one frame size is exceeded, another RP is sized and mounted in series to add ratio as required.
