Boston Gear VLF113B Gear Reducer

The Boston Gear VLF113B Gear Reducer is a 40:1 precision helical gear reducer designed to slow motor speed and multiply torque in industrial power transmission applications. Housed in cast-iron industrial housing, it uses a precision helical gear set with oil-bath lubrication to deliver reliable torque multiplication in mechanical drive assemblies. The unit accepts an electric motor-driven shaft input and provides an output that can be hollow or solid depending on configuration, with footprint options for foot-mounted or flange-mounted installations. This high-efficiency gear reduction design is commonly used in conveyors, mixers, feeders, and automated production lines where precise speed reduction and high torque are required. For retrofit or replacement, compatible alternatives include Dodge Tigear-2 40:1 gear reducer equivalents, SEW-Eurodrive 40:1 helical gear units, and Nord Drive-systems SK series gear reducers, depending on integration needs.
