Overview
Configured around a compact 80B14 IEC flange input, this BA72 bevel helical gearbox combines a standard 35mm hollow bore with a space-conscious right-angle layout for OEM and retrofit machinery.
Reduction profile: At 40.87:1, this high-reduction setup brings output speed down decisively while giving a clear step up in available torque for controlled, lower-speed drive duties.
The B14 motor interface helps keep motor projection tighter, which is useful where guarding, side clearance, or overall assembly length needs to be controlled.
It is a practical fit for conveyors, packaging lines, indexing systems, and process machinery that benefit from stronger reduction without moving fully into ultra-slow output speeds.
Across everyday industrial service, the BA72 design is valued for smooth 90° power transmission, reliable shaft support, and dependable operation in continuous-duty environments.
Need the non-standard 30mm bore option?
If your application requires the non-standard 30mm output bore instead of this standard 35mm version, we can supply that configuration as well. View available BA72 options and request the non-standard bore version here: Motovario BA72 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 | ~34 rpm |
| 2-Pole | 2800 | ~69 rpm |

Ratio Selection Tips
Best for: heavier conveyors, process machinery, and industrial handling systems where slower shaft speed and stronger torque are needed.
Selection tip: choose 40.87:1 when medium ratios still feel too quick and the application needs a clearer step up in torque multiplication.
FAQ
Will this ratio be too slow for my application?
40.87:1 is firmly in the high reduction group, so it is intended for applications that benefit from slower shaft speed and stronger torque rather than fast output.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — this ratio works well with a VFD where you need adjustable process speed, smoother startup, and more control under load.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 80B14 motor input gives a compact flange arrangement for smaller IEC motors where installation length matters.
- Output bore note: this build uses the standard 35mm bore. A 30mm BA72 bore is available as a non-standard option if a smaller shaft size is required.
- Application example: compact conveyors, transfer equipment, and OEM machinery where a short B14 motor arrangement is preferred.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and transfer drive systems
- Packaging and process handling equipment
- Automated production and assembly lines
- Light materials handling equipment
- Rotary equipment and general machinery drives
- OEM machine and equipment builds
