Raydafon BKM helical hypoid gearbox is a 90° right-angle gearbox built for high-torque industrial drives. Six frame sizes 050 to 130 cover input power 0.2–7.5 kW and maximum output torque up to 1500 Nm. Two-stage versions cover ratios 7.5 to 60 at up to 92% efficiency, and three-stage versions cover ratios 60 to 300 at up to 90% efficiency. Frame 050–090 use die-cast aluminium alloy housings, and frame 110–130 use cast iron housings, all machined in a single setup to keep bearing bores and shaft seats concentric. Gears use high-grade alloy steel, case-hardened and precision-ground. Installation dimensions are fully compatible with the RV series worm gear reducers, so BKM can drop into an existing RV mount as a direct replacement. IEC input flanges for direct motor mounting. OEM flanges, output shafts, ratios and IP ratings available.
BKM is a helical hypoid gearbox series that offsets the output shaft at 90° using a hypoid gear set. Compared with a standard bevel gearbox, the hypoid mesh delivers a higher single-stage ratio, quieter running and higher torque in the same envelope. Six frame sizes 050 to 130 cover 0.2–7.5 kW and up to 1500 Nm output torque. Installation dimensions are fully compatible with the RV series worm gear reducers, so a BKM unit can drop into an existing RV mount as a direct replacement without re-machining the machine plate.

Six Frame Sizes 050 to 130
Each frame is defined by its centre distance, which scales torque capacity. Frame 050 to 090 use die-cast aluminium housings that resist rust and shed heat quickly. Frame 110 and 130 use cast iron housings for higher rigidity on heavy or shock-loaded axes. Every housing is machined on a vertical machining centre in a single setup to keep the bearing bore, hypoid gear seat and output shaft seat concentric.

Two-Stage and Three-Stage Transmission
BKM gearboxes are offered in two transmission configurations. The two-stage version covers fast output for general axes. The three-stage version covers slow high-torque output for heavy loads. Both share the same housing and mounting dimensions.
Two-Stage BKM
Two gear sets inside the hypoid housing. Higher efficiency and faster output, suitable for CNC feed axes, robotics and indexing tables.
Ratio range7.5 – 60
Efficiencyup to 92%
Output type90° right angle
Three-Stage BKM
Three gear sets stacked in the same housing. Higher ratios and heavier torque output, suitable for heavy loads and low-speed high-torque axes.
Ratio range60 – 300
Efficiencyup to 90%
Output type90° right angle
RV Series Interchangeability
BKM and the RV series worm gear reducers share the same mounting bolt pattern and output shaft position. This means an existing RV mount can accept a BKM unit without redesigning the machine frame, and a machine originally specified with RV can later be upgraded to BKM without changing the plate, the shaft or the coupling.
Drop-in Replacement for RV Worm Gear Reducer
Same bolt pattern, same output shaft height, same keyway position. Swapping one for the other is a bolt-on operation rather than a re-engineering job.
Same mounting bolt pattern as RV worm gear reducers
Same output shaft height and keyway position
Direct upgrade from RV to BKM without machining the frame
Reduces spare-part complexity for OEM machine builders
Supports mixed RV and BKM fleets with the same spare plate
How a BKM Unit Is Built
Five manufacturing steps determine the service life and positioning stability of every BKM helical hypoid gearbox.
01
Housing Casting
Aluminium alloy or cast iron housing cast with tight wall-thickness tolerance.
02
Single-Setup Machining
Vertical machining centre keeps bearing bore, gear seat and shaft seat concentric.
03
Gear Cutting & Heat Treatment
Alloy steel gears cut, case-hardened and tempered for wear resistance.
04
Precision Grinding
Hypoid and helical teeth ground on gear grinding machines for tight backlash.
05
Assembly & Test
Full assembly, backlash measurement, noise and no-load running test.
Common Technical Specifications
These parameters apply across the BKM series unless a custom option is selected. Full dimensional drawings are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about stage selection, RV compatibility, mounting and customisation.
What is a helical hypoid gearbox and how does it differ from a bevel gearbox?
A helical hypoid gearbox uses a hypoid gear set to offset the output shaft at 90°, similar to a spiral bevel gearbox but with the pinion axis offset from the gear axis. This gives a higher single-stage ratio, smoother and quieter running, and higher torque capacity in the same envelope. Helical hypoid gears are widely used where a right-angle drive needs high ratio in a compact housing.
What is the difference between two-stage and three-stage BKM units?
Two-stage BKM covers ratios 7.5 to 60 at up to 92% efficiency and is used for general CNC, robotics and conveyor axes. Three-stage BKM covers ratios 60 to 300 at up to 90% efficiency and is used for heavy loads and low-speed high-torque axes. Both share the same housing and mounting dimensions.
Can BKM replace an existing RV worm gear reducer?
Yes. BKM shares installation dimensions with the RV series worm gear reducers, including the mounting bolt pattern and output shaft position. This means a BKM unit can drop into an existing RV mount or replace an RV unit as a direct upgrade without re-machining the machine frame.
What housing materials are used across the BKM range?
Frame 050, 063, 075 and 090 use die-cast aluminium alloy housings that resist rust and shed heat quickly. Frame 110 and 130 use cast iron housings for higher rigidity on heavy or shock-loaded axes. Both housing types are machined on a vertical machining centre in a single setup to keep bearing bores and shaft seats concentric.
Can BKM be matched to my existing motor?
Yes. BKM units ship with an input flange and hollow input shaft for direct coupling to IEC standard motors. Custom flanges for other motor types, including servo motors, are available on request for OEM projects. If you need the gearbox supplied with a servo motor as a package, the BKM Series with Servo Motor page is the correct product.
What is the warranty period and OEM lead time?
We provide an 18-month warranty from shipment date covering manufacturing defects, with full technical support. Standard BKM models are stocked; custom OEM orders typically ship within 25–35 working days after drawing confirmation.
