Boston Gear VR137POM5 Right Angle Gear Reducer

The Boston Gear VR137POM5 Right Angle Gear Reducer is a 1:1 spiral bevel gear reducer (miter gear drive) that couples shafts at a right angle while preserving identical input and output speeds, delivering torque without RPM change. Built around the 137 frame size, it features a cast iron industrial gearbox housing and heavy-duty roller bearings to support demanding duty cycles, with oil-bath lubrication to maintain gear surfaces and extend service life. The unit uses solid shaft input and solid shaft output and is designed for horizontal base or frame-mounted installation, aligning drivetrain components in compact layouts. In typical industrial mechanical power transmission applications, including conveyor drives, packaging lines, processing equipment, and material handling machinery, the VR137POM5 enables precise shaft alignment and torque transfer without altering rotational speed, making it a reliable retrofit or replacement option for worn 1:1 spiral bevel assemblies in OEM or system-integrator projects. Common replacements listed include the Boston Gear R137BM1 1:1 spiral bevel gear reducer, as well as equivalent units from Dodge and SEW-Eurodrive.
