Overview
Configured for a 100-112B5 motor input, this BA72 gearbox combines higher IEC frame compatibility with the standard 35mm hollow bore in a proven right-angle bevel-helical format.
Reduction profile: The 54.94:1 ratio is suited to applications that need a noticeably slower output shaft together with higher torque gain for heavier handling, process, or conveyor duties.
This suits process handling equipment, slower conveyor sections, mixers, feeders, and general OEM machinery where extra reduction helps stabilise the driven system.
For machinery designed around larger B5 flange motors, this version gives a straightforward route to deeper speed reduction while retaining the usual 35mm output connection.
The BA72 arrangement is intended for dependable industrial service, with efficient torque transfer and stable low-speed running across conveyors, handling lines, and process equipment.
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 | ~25 rpm |
| 2-Pole | 2800 | ~51 rpm |

Ratio Selection Tips
Best for: slow-speed conveyors, process lines, and equipment that benefits from stronger torque and more controlled output speed.
Selection tip: pick 54.94:1 when the application needs a substantial reduction in shaft speed while remaining within the main BA72 high-ratio range.
FAQ
Will this ratio be too slow for my application?
54.94:1 is a slower high reduction option, so it is well suited to applications that need controlled output speed and stronger mechanical advantage.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — a VFD can be used with 54.94:1 to fine-tune process speed while keeping the strong torque characteristics of the gearbox.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 100-112B5 motor input allows direct flange mounting for larger IEC motors where a more substantial B5 interface is preferred.
- 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: main conveyor drives, process machinery, and OEM equipment where a larger direct-mount motor arrangement is required.
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
