What is a gearbox and do I need one?

A gearbox, also known as a speed reducer, is fitted between an electric motor and the machine it drives.

Electric motors naturally run at high speed. Most industrial equipment needs slower movement with more power. A gearbox allows this by:

  • Reducing motor speed
  • Increasing torque (turning force)
  • Improving control and efficiency
  • Protecting the motor and machinery

In simple terms:

Fast motor speed → Gearbox → Slow, powerful output

This makes gearboxes essential for conveyors, mixers, gates, packaging machines and many other applications.

Varvel Gearboxes – Modular & Flexible

Varvel have been manufacturing speed reducers and variators for light industrial applications for over 70 years.

Varvel’s strength lies in their modular kit-based design, allowing a wide range of gearboxes to be built quickly from common components.

Available gearbox types

  • Helical in-line
  • Bevel helical
  • Parallel helical

Shaft sizes are available up to 60mm.

Flexible Coupling (G-Type System)

Varvel gearboxes use a flexible G-type coupling instead of traditional shaft and key connections, without changing the overall gearbox dimensions.

Advantages

  • One gearbox per ratio

  • Zero backlash coupling

  • Improved stock rotation

  • Elimination of fretting corrosion

  • Greater flexibility of motor mounting

  • Angular misalignment 1° maxiumum

  • High torsional rigidity

  • Reduced vibration and noise

Need help selecting a gearbox?

Selecting the correct gearbox depends on:

Required speed and torque, Gear ratio, Mounting position and Motor type and size
