Overview
B103 47.28:1 bevel helical gearbox with a 50mm hollow bore output and 132B5 IEC motor input for compact 90° right-angle drive integration.
Designed to handle demanding loads, it combines efficient gearing with robust construction for reliable 90° transmission in compact machine layouts.
High reduction: This high reduction ratio prioritises torque multiplication and controlled output speed, suited to heavier conveyors, process machinery, and positioning applications.
Built for long service life, this gearbox supports consistent performance for automation and materials handling duties.
Need the non-standard 45mm bore option?
If your application requires a 45mm output bore instead of the standard 50mm, we can supply this as a non-standard configuration. View available B103 options and request the 45mm version here: Motovario B103 Gearbox.

Ratio Selection Tips
- Best for: heavier loads where pulling power is the priority — suitable for loaded conveyors, agitators, and machinery that benefits from reduced speed and higher torque stability.
- Selection tip: high ratios suit heavier loads — check start torque, thermal load on the motor, and whether a soft start/VFD ramp is needed for smooth acceleration.
FAQ
Does a high ratio increase torque a lot?
Yes — high reduction significantly multiplies torque and reduces output speed, improving stability under load. Always confirm shaft torque and gearbox service factor.
Do I need braking or a soft start?
Often recommended for heavier loads. A VFD ramp or soft starter helps reduce shock loading during start/stop, and braking may be needed for controlled stopping.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 132B5 IEC input is built for high-power motor pairings, delivering strong input torque capacity for demanding conveyors and process machinery.
- Output bore note: the 50mm hollow shaft bore is a common industrial size for conveyors and handling equipment, offering a strong shaft interface for torque transmission.
- Application example: lift or heavy handling system where smooth, torque-focused motion is more important than speed.
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
