Overview
B103 35.87:1 bevel helical gearbox with a 50mm hollow bore output and 100-112B5 IEC motor input for compact 90° right-angle drive integration.
Designed to handle demanding loads, it combines efficient gearing with robust construction for reliable 90° transmission in compact machine layouts.
High reduction: This high reduction ratio prioritises torque multiplication and controlled output speed, suited to heavier conveyors, process machinery, and positioning applications.
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 | ~39 rpm |
| 2-Pole | 2800 | ~78 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.

Ratio Selection Tips
- Best for: torque-focused drives with reduced output speed — ideal for heavier conveyors, mixers, and load-handling equipment that must start and run smoothly under load.
- Selection tip: high ratios suit heavier loads — check start torque, thermal load on the motor, and whether a soft start/VFD ramp is needed for smooth acceleration.
FAQ
Does a high ratio increase torque a lot?
Yes — high reduction significantly multiplies torque and reduces output speed, improving stability under load. Always confirm shaft torque and gearbox service factor.
Do I need braking or a soft start?
Often recommended for heavier loads. A VFD ramp or soft starter helps reduce shock loading during start/stop, and braking may be needed for controlled stopping.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 100–112B5 IEC input is designed for larger IEC motors, increasing torque capacity and widening motor compatibility for heavier duty applications.
- Output bore note: with a 50mm bore, this gearbox suits many standard shafting setups, providing a robust interface for continuous-duty power transfer.
- Application example: lift or heavy handling system where smooth, torque-focused motion is more important than speed.
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
