Overview
B103 8.97:1 bevel helical gearbox with a 50mm hollow bore output and 100-112B5 IEC motor input for compact 90° right-angle drive integration.
Engineered for continuous-duty industrial service, it provides smooth power transmission, stable output speed control, and dependable torque delivery in demanding environments.
Low reduction: This low reduction ratio maintains higher output speeds while still multiplying torque, ideal for fast-moving conveyors, indexing, and light-to-medium duty automation.
Engineered for continuous-duty operation, this configuration delivers dependable torque transfer and smooth running under load.
Need the non-standard 45mm bore option?
If your application requires a 45mm output bore instead of the standard 50mm, we can supply this as a non-standard configuration. View available B103 options and request the 45mm version here: Motovario B103 Gearbox.

Output Speed (4-Pole vs 2-Pole Motors)
Calculated nominal output speed using a standard IEC motor:
| Motor Type | Input Speed (rpm) | Estimated Output Speed (rpm) |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Pole | 1400 | ~156 rpm |
| 2-Pole | 2800 | ~312 rpm |
Need torque confirmation? Output torque depends on motor power (kW), gearbox efficiency, and service factor. Use our Gearbox Service Factor Calculator or contact us for verified torque figures.

✔ Well suited to inverter (VFD) driven motors and variable-speed control
✔ Rigid cast iron housing built for OEM and continuous-duty operation
Ratio Selection Tips
- Best for: higher-speed duties where you still want torque multiplication — ideal for light conveying, packaging machinery, and compact automation drives.
- Selection tip: if you need faster line speed but want improved pulling force, choose a low reduction ratio and confirm the required start/stop duty and load inertia.
FAQ
Will this ratio be too fast for my application?
If you need very slow output speed, move up to a mid or high reduction ratio. Low ratios are best when you still want a relatively quick output with torque gain.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — a VFD is ideal for fine speed control. Keep an eye on cooling at very low motor speeds if you reduce frequency for extended periods.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: with a 100–112B5 motor flange, this configuration targets higher-power builds while retaining a compact, right‑angle gearbox installation.
- Output bore note: the 50mm hollow shaft bore is a common industrial size for conveyors and handling equipment, offering a strong shaft interface for torque transmission.
- Application example: light-duty conveyor with frequent start/stop, where keeping speed up helps throughput.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and line-shaft drive systems
- Automated production and assembly lines
- Food and beverage processing machinery
- Materials handling and logistics equipment
- Pumps, mixers, and agitator drives
- OEM machine and equipment builds
