Bonfiglioli W 86 10:1 Worm Gearbox – 35mm Bore, IEC Motor Input

This Bonfiglioli W 86 10:1 worm gearbox is a right-angle speed reducer built around the heavy-duty worm gearbox platform. It is suited to larger industrial drives and higher-load right-angle power transmission where higher output speed and lighter reduction are required. This version uses a 35mm hollow output bore and modular IEC motor input options for straightforward industrial integration.

Gearbox Overview

The Bonfiglioli W 86 size is part of the VF-W worm gearbox range and is designed for flexible installation in multiple mounting positions. In this 10:1 configuration, it offers High output speed, lower torque multiplication, and efficient right-angle power transfer. The hollow bore output format makes it practical for direct shaft-mount transmission layouts where compact right-angle drive arrangements are preferred.

Why Choose This Configuration?

This exact model is best suited to buyers who need a Bonfiglioli W 86 gearbox with a 10:1 ratio and 35mm output bore. Compared with lower ratios, this version is selected where faster shaft speed is needed without using a direct-drive arrangement. Compared with higher frame sizes, it keeps the package more compact while retaining the modular mounting and input flexibility shown in the datasheet.
