Motovario B103 83.66:1 Bevel Gearbox – 50mm Bore, 160B5

Overview

B103 83.66:1 bevel gearbox with a 50mm hollow bore output and 160B5 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.

Very high reduction: With very high reduction at 83.66:1 you achieve maximum torque and ultra-low output speed for demanding duty such as heavy conveyors, rotary valves, and high-inertia applications requiring stable motion.

Ratio Selection Tips

• Best for: maximum torque and very low output speed — ideal for heavy conveying, bulk handling, rotary valves, and high-inertia loads that demand stable, controlled motion.
• Selection tip: ultra‑low speed drives need careful checks — confirm holding torque, braking/overrun control, and any backdriving requirements of the application.

FAQ

Is a very high ratio suitable for heavy conveyors?
Yes — very high ratios are commonly used where maximum pulling power and stable, low-speed motion are required.

Do I need to worry about stopping/overrun?
Yes — with high inertia loads, consider braking (mechanical brake or VFD braking) and confirm holding/overrun requirements to keep motion controlled.

Configuration Notes

• Input flange note: the 160B5 IEC input is intended for high torque motor builds, ideal for demanding duty where robust input capacity is essential.
• 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: rotary valve or dosing system where precise low-speed output and high torque prevent stalling under load.

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
