Ratio Selection Tips

• Best for: applications that need a quicker output speed with modest torque gain — such as faster conveyors, packaging infeed/outfeed, and indexing where responsiveness matters.
• Selection tip: low ratios suit responsive motion — check acceleration/inertia and ensure the driven equipment doesn’t require very slow output speed.

FAQ

Will this ratio be too fast for my application?
If you need very slow output speed, move up to a mid or high reduction ratio. Low ratios are best when you still want a relatively quick output with torque gain.

Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — a VFD is ideal for fine speed control. Keep an eye on cooling at very low motor speeds if you reduce frequency for extended periods.

Configuration Notes

• Input flange note: with a 160B5 flange, this setup suits heavy-duty drives requiring higher input torque handling and stable continuous operation.
• 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: light-duty conveyor with frequent start/stop, where keeping speed up helps throughput.

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
