Varvel RT85 Worm Gearboxes
The Varvel RT85 worm gearbox is a compact right-angle gear reducer designed for medium-duty industrial applications where higher torque capacity, reliable performance, and efficient space utilisation are required. It is part of the Varvel RT Series and features a robust housing (die-cast aluminium up to smaller sizes and grey cast iron in larger frames), bronze worm wheel, and hardened steel worm shaft, making it suitable for conveyors, material handling systems, agriculture, and general industrial machinery where stronger load capability is needed within a compact footprint.
