Ratio Selection Tips
- Best for: mixed-load machinery that needs dependable torque at a controlled speed — ideal for conveyors, process equipment, and continuous-duty handling systems.
- Selection tip: for general machinery, mid reduction gives stable control — verify continuous torque demand and pick the ratio that keeps the motor in its efficient speed range.
FAQ
Is this a good general-purpose ratio?
Yes — mid reduction ratios are typically the best balance for many machines, providing controlled speed with useful torque multiplication.
How do I choose between two close ratios?
Pick the ratio that keeps your target output speed closest at the motor speed you’ll actually run (direct-on-line or via VFD), then confirm required torque and service factor.
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 60mm hollow shaft bore suits larger shaft interfaces and heavier loading, providing a robust connection for high-torque transmission.
- Application example: general materials handling conveyor where you need stable running under load across long shifts.
Typical Applications
- Belt and chain conveyor drives (incl. incline conveyors)
- Line-shaft conveyor sections and transfer stations
- Packaging machinery (cartoners, case packers, pallet conveyors)
- Automated assembly and indexing tables
- Food-grade conveyor and processing line drives (washdown-area compatible when specified)
- Materials handling: roller conveyors, sortation lines, and accumulation systems
