RV Series 3-Stage Right Angle Bevel Helical Gearboxes
Varvel
The RV Series from Varvel offers a high-performance, three-stage right-angle bevel-helical gearbox designed specifically for applications requiring compact layout, substantial reduction ratios, and precise mechanical transmission. With a reduction ratio spectrum from 6.3:1 up to 315:1 and maximum output torques up to 3,360 Nm, it delivers robust power handling in a right-angle footprint for space-constrained industrial drives. The modular “kit format” construction allows quick assembly, tailored motor or flange input, and a wide variety of output configurations, making the RV Series ideal for industrial sectors as diverse as food & beverage, material-handling, packaging, and marine.
Features of The RV Series
Built for durability and simplicity, the RV Series employs a die-cast aluminium housing for sizes up to size 3 and tough grey cast-iron for larger sizes (4–6) to ensure structural rigidity and resist deformation under load. Gears are manufactured from cemented, case-hardened alloy-steel and run on precision ball or tapered-roller bearings for smooth, efficient operation. The entire gear train is lubricated with long-life synthetic oil, sealed for the life of the unit, to minimise maintenance and maximise service life. Angular backlash is held to 20′–30′ typical, allowing for predictable motion in moderate precision applications. The kit-based modular concept supports a range of special options such as Viton or silicone seals for food or chemical environments, anodised housing for marine or offshore use, and ATEX certification for potentially explosive atmospheres.
