Overview
Motovario B163 11.87:1 bevel gearbox with a 100mm hollow bore output and 160B5 IEC motor input, built for efficient 90° power transmission in industrial drive systems where a compact right-angle layout and dependable mechanical performance are required.
Engineered for continuous-duty operation, this configuration provides reliable speed reduction, smooth torque transfer, and strong shaft engagement across demanding OEM, processing, and plant machinery applications.
Low Reduction: This ratio is well suited to applications that need a relatively faster output speed while still benefiting from useful torque multiplication, making it a practical option for conveyors, handling equipment, packaging systems, and general industrial automation.
With its 100mm hollow output bore, this gearbox is designed to accommodate larger driven shafts, helping deliver a stable connection and dependable power transmission in heavier-duty mechanical assemblies.
The 160B5 IEC motor input allows straightforward pairing with larger IEC motors, giving this version greater input-side capacity and wider motor compatibility while maintaining the robust, space-efficient format expected from the Motovario B Series bevel helical gearbox range.

FAQ
Is 11.87:1 a good ratio for higher-speed applications?
Yes — an 11.87:1 ratio is typically chosen when you want to keep output speed relatively high while still gaining a useful reduction in speed and an increase in transmitted torque. It is a strong fit for driven systems that must run efficiently without excessive speed loss.
Can this gearbox be used with inverter-controlled motors?
Yes — this gearbox can be used with a VFD-controlled motor setup for improved speed control and smoother acceleration. For low-speed or high-load duty, make sure the motor is suitable for inverter operation and that cooling and service factor requirements are properly checked.
Configuration Notes
Input flange note: the 160B5 IEC input is intended for larger motor frame pairings, making this configuration suitable for applications that need higher input capacity and dependable power transmission in a compact right-angle gearbox arrangement.
Output bore note: the 100mm hollow bore is designed for larger shaft-driven systems where secure fitment, stable torque transfer, and long-term mechanical reliability are important.
Application example: ideal for conveyors, transfer systems, mixers, and packaging machinery where a larger shaft output, robust right-angle drive layout, and relatively fast output speed are needed for efficient industrial operation.
