BKM Series High-Efficiency Helical Hypoid Gearbox (Cast Iron Housing)

BKM Series High-Efficiency Helical Hypoid Gearbox (Cast Iron Housing)

Raydafon BKM cast iron helical hypoid gearbox is a 90° right-angle gearbox built on two larger base sizes, 110 and 130. Cast iron gives higher stiffness and better damping than the aluminium version of the same family, so the gear housing holds geometry under heavy continuous load and reversing duty. Power range 0.18 to 7.5 kW, maximum output torque up to 1500 Nm on the 130 base. Two-stage ratios 7.5 to 60 run at up to 92% efficiency, three-stage ratios 60 to 300 run at up to 90%. Gears are high-grade alloy steel, surface quenched and precision ground, with a hypoid gear set for higher single-stage ratio. Installation dimensions are fully compatible with the RV series worm gear reducers, so BKM drops into an existing RV mount. IEC standard input flange. Foot, flange and shaft output mounting available. Used in industrial robots, CNC machine tools, medical equipment, printing, agriculture, food processing and warehouse logistics.

Two-Stage and Three-Stage Transmission

2-Stage

Ratio 7.5 – 60

Two gear stages inside the cast iron housing. This is the higher-efficiency configuration and covers most industrial drive axes that need a moderate reduction.

  • Ratio7.5 – 60
  • Efficiencyup to 92%
  • Typical loadGeneral industrial
3-Stage

Ratio 60 – 300

Three gear stages stacked in the same housing. Higher total ratio and heavier torque output for low-speed, high-torque axes such as winches and mixers.

  • Ratio60 – 300
  • Efficiencyup to 90%
  • Typical loadLow speed, high torque
03 · Compatibility

RV Series Interchangeability

Drop-in Replacement

Same Mounting Dimensions as RV Worm Gear Reducer

An existing RV mount can accept a BKM cast iron 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.

  • Same mounting bolt pattern as RV series worm gear reducers
  • Same output shaft height and keyway position
  • Direct upgrade from RV to BKM without re-machining the frame
  • Reduces spare-part complexity for OEM machine builders
  • Supports mixed RV and BKM fleets with the same spare plate

Construction Details and Product Images

Cast Iron Housing

Both base sizes 110 and 130 use a cast iron housing. Cast iron gives higher stiffness and better damping than the aluminium version of the same BKM family, which keeps the gear mesh stable under heavy continuous load and reversing duty.

  • Cast iron housing for base 110 and 130
  • Machined on a vertical machining centre in a single setup
  • Higher stiffness and vibration damping than aluminium
  • Better geometry retention under shock load

Gears and Shafts

  • High-grade alloy steel gears
  • Surface quenched for tooth hardness
  • Ground on high-precision gear grinding machines
  • Hypoid gearing for higher single-stage ratio
  • Rigid bearing arrangement for 90° output

Where Cast Iron BKM Is the Correct Choice

Cast iron is selected when the gearbox must hold its geometry under continuous heavy load or reversing duty, and when the machine frame already has the mass to support a cast iron unit. Common cases are CNC rotary axes, heavy mixers, hoists, and industrial robot joints with offset payload.

  • Heavy continuous load with limited cooling
  • Reversing duty with frequent direction changes
  • Offset payloads that stress the output bearing
  • Machines where the gearbox is bolted to a rigid cast frame

Where Aluminium BKM Is the Correct Choice

  • Medium-load axes without reversing shock
  • Machines with weight constraints on the drive
  • Compact installation space on packaging lines
  • General automation axes with standard duty cycle
  • Low unit-cost projects where mass is not required
07 · FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the cast iron BKM and the aluminium BKM of the same family?
Both versions use the same helical hypoid gear set and the same 90° output layout. The difference is the housing material. The cast iron version covers the two larger base sizes 110 and 130 and gives higher stiffness and better vibration damping, which keeps the gear mesh stable under heavy continuous load and reversing duty. The aluminium version covers the smaller base sizes 050 to 090 and is chosen when weight and unit cost matter more than mass.
What two-stage and three-stage ratios does BKM 110 / 130 cover?
Two-stage ratios cover 7.5 to 60 with efficiency up to 92%. Three-stage ratios cover 60 to 300 with efficiency up to 90%. Maximum output torque is up to 660 Nm on the 110 base and up to 1500 Nm on the 130 base. Custom ratios are available on request for OEM projects.
Can the BKM cast iron unit replace an RV worm gear reducer?
Yes. BKM 110 and 130 share 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 input interface does the BKM cast iron unit accept?
The input side accepts an IEC standard motor flange, so a standard three-phase or brake motor can bolt directly onto the gearbox. Custom flanges for other motor types, including servo motors, are available on request for OEM projects.
Which output mounting configurations are available?
BKM 110 and 130 support foot, flange and shaft output mounting. The base is machined on a vertical machining centre in a single setup, so the output mounting face and bearing bore stay concentric across all three configurations.
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 110 and 130 models are stocked; custom OEM orders typically ship within 25–35 working days after drawing confirmation.
