Expansion of Bonfiglioli’s bevel helical gearbox range
September 2007

A major update and expansion to the current offering of Bonfiglioli Riduttori A Series bevel helical gearboxes will come into force in May.
Three new sizes will be released to complement the existing range, covering areas not currently catered for by Bonfiglioli and, in some cases, by any other manufacturer.
Because torque ratings will increase in such closely spaced steps from 100 to 2800 Nm in the new, extended A Series gearbox range, users will be able to select precisely the right product for their application with far greater ease.The chart below shows the three new sizes, designated A05, A35 and A55, arranged according to their maximum torque values of 100, 600 and 2000 Nm respectively.
A05 – The new A05 bevel helical gearbox will cater for an area of very special interest, covering a range of applications historically dominated by worm gearboxes.
Compared to equivalent worm gearboxes, however, the A05 bevel helical gearbox will offer much higher efficiency, from a minimum of +12% to a maximum of +85% depending on the gear ratio.
The new A05 gearbox will therefore provide a high efficiency alternative for manufacturers eager to achieve

energy savings, or simply optimise the performance of their machines.
Compared to conventional worm drives, in some requirement cases the A05 bevel helical gearbox will even permit the use of one size smaller motors, with consequent savings in overall dimensions and costs.
Other key features of the A05 gearbox are an essential design, symmetrical mounting, compact size, extended versatility and universal applicability thanks to its many mounting surfaces.
A35 – The A35 gearbox will complete Bonfiglioli’s offering in the most popular range for industrial gearmotors, with a unit that is top rated within its category. The A35 will also offer a range of gear ratios spanning up to i=400, in a evenly spaced progression with 12% difference between consecutive ratios. The A35 will be also extremely easy to configure through various motors, two different mounting flanges and five versions for the output shaft.
A55 – The A55 gearbox is of a brand new design, characterised by torque capacity consistently high over a wide range of ratios, spanning from a minimum of i=5 to a maximum of i=800. Two different casings, one 2-stage and one 3-4 stage, will be used allowing optimisation of costs, performance and dimensions in a manner otherwise not possible. The A55 will also be extremely versatile thanks to a broad range of standard options that can be selected from the catalogue for configuring the gearmotor according to any application |
