BV — worm gearboxes, compact housing
Compact worm gear reducers, sizes 030 to 090, ratios 7 to 100, up to 350 Nm.
The BV series is the compact worm gearbox range in die-cast aluminium. Sizes 030, 040 and 050 have a round housing that fits very tight transmissions and take modular feet for four fixing positions; sizes 063 to 090 have a square housing. All sizes are lubricated for life and can be mounted in any position.
