Overview
The Ametric BF 40/P reducer is a worm-gear speed reducer designed for industrial automation and power transmission applications. This 1:7.5 ratio unit features a 63B14 IEC motor input flange, enabling direct coupling to standard IEC-frame motors. The BF 40/P series combines compact design with reliable torque multiplication, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, mixers, and other industrial machinery requiring precise speed reduction.

Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- IEC-frame three-phase AC motors (63B14 flange)
- Single-phase motors with 63B14 adapter flange
- Direct flange coupling to motor output shafts
- Industrial control systems and VFD-driven applications
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
- Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering—worm-gear reducers of similar frame size may not be direct replacements due to output shaft configuration and torque rating differences.
Works With
- Standard 63B14 IEC motor flanges
- Flexible couplings and rigid shaft couplings
- Oil-type lubricants (mineral-based hydraulic or gear oil)
- Industrial PLC and automation control networks (mechanical reducer—no electronic integration)
