Overview
Configured around a compact 80B14 IEC flange input, this BA72 bevel helical gearbox is a strong choice for right-angle drives where installation space is tight and a standard 35mm hollow bore output is needed.
Reduction profile: The 17.94:1 ratio sits in the balanced part of the BA72 range, giving a clear drop in output speed together with useful torque gain for everyday handling and automation duties.
The compact B14 flange arrangement is often preferred where motor projection needs to be kept short, so this build works well in OEM machinery, retrofit assemblies, and tighter side-mounted installations.
In service, the BA72 arrangement is valued for efficient right-angle transmission, stable output behaviour, and the kind of durability expected in continuous-duty industrial environments.
Need the non-standard 30mm bore option?
If your application requires the non-standard 30mm output bore instead of this standard 35mm version, we can supply that configuration as well. View available BA72 options and request the non-standard bore version here: Motovario BA72 Gearbox.

Output Speed (4-Pole vs 2-Pole Motors)
Calculated nominal output speed using a standard IEC motor:
| Motor Type | Input Speed (rpm) | Estimated Output Speed (rpm) |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Pole | 1400 | ~78 rpm |
| 2-Pole | 2800 | ~156 rpm |
Need torque confirmation? Output torque depends on motor power (kW), gearbox efficiency, and service factor. Use our Gearbox Service Factor Calculator or contact us for verified torque figures.

Ratio Selection Tips
Best for: conveyors, packaging systems, and handling equipment where you want a balanced mix of output speed control and stronger torque multiplication.
Selection tip: choose 17.94:1 when the low ratios are a little too fast but you still want a fairly responsive output for general industrial duties.
FAQ
Will this ratio be too fast for my application?
Medium reduction ratios are generally chosen when low ratios feel too fast but full high‑torque reductions are unnecessary. This keeps output speed controlled while still providing strong torque.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Yes — the gearbox can be paired with a VFD to fine‑tune output speed and improve startup control.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 80B14 motor input gives a compact flange arrangement for smaller IEC motors where installation length matters.
- Output bore note: this build uses the standard 35mm bore. A 30mm BA72 bore is available as a non-standard option if a smaller shaft size is required.
- Application example: compact conveyors, transfer equipment, and OEM machinery where a short B14 motor arrangement is preferred.
Typical Applications
- Typical applications include conveyors, automated assembly lines, packaging equipment, and materials handling systems.
- Packaging and process handling equipment
- Automated production and assembly lines
- Light materials handling equipment
- Rotary equipment and general machinery drives
- OEM machine and equipment builds
