Ratio Selection Tips
- Best for: applications needing strong torque multiplication and stable low-to-mid output speed.
- Selection tip: if output rpm must be controlled and torque maximised, high reduction fits — just validate duty cycle and gearbox sizing margin.
FAQ
Will this ratio be too slow?
If you need faster output speed, choose a low or mid reduction ratio. High ratios are used when torque and load capacity matter most.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — a VFD is ideal for accurate speed control. For long periods at very low motor speeds, ensure adequate motor cooling if running at reduced frequency.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 160B5 IEC input suits larger IEC motors, increasing input capacity and expanding motor compatibility for heavier-duty applications.
- Output bore note: the 70mm hollow bore supports larger shaft interfaces and higher loading, providing a rigid, secure connection for torque transmission.
- Application example: materials handling lift/drive section requiring higher torque reserve
Typical Applications
- Heavy conveyor sections and incline drives
- Process feed systems (augers, rotary valves, dosing)
- Industrial mixers requiring stronger torque multiplication
- Materials handling equipment with higher starting loads
- VFD-controlled drives where torque is prioritised over speed
- General industrial machinery with demanding duty cycles
