Overview
This BA72 configuration combines a 90B5 motor flange with the standard 35mm hollow bore, making it a capable right-angle gearbox for general industrial drives that need efficient 90° power transmission.
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.
For equipment already standardised around B5 motor mounting, this version helps simplify replacement and integration while retaining the BA72’s compact right-angle form.
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?
Applications needing slower output speeds should consider medium or high reductions rather than the fastest gearbox ratios.
Can I run this with a VFD?
Variable‑frequency drives are commonly used with this gearbox to optimise machine speed and improve process control.
Configuration Notes
- Input flange note: the 90B5 motor input offers direct flange mounting for IEC 90 frame motors and is well suited to tidy, rigid installations.
- 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: general conveyor drives, line machinery, and plant equipment where direct B5 motor mounting is preferred.
Typical Applications
- Frequently used on packaging machinery, conveying equipment, material transfer systems, and OEM machine builds.
- 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
