Oriental Motor GFV4G15 Product Overview
The Oriental Motor GFV4G15 is a high-strength, long-life parallel shaft spur gearhead specifically designed for integration with Oriental Motor’s 60 W (1/12 HP) brushless DC motor configurations (such as the BLM series utilized within BLE2, BMU, and BLV drive systems). Featuring a robust 80 mm (3.15 in.) square flange frame size, this gearhead provides efficient mechanical speed reduction and high torque multiplication to optimize the operation of variable speed industrial drive architectures.

Advanced Mechanical Construction and Overhung Load Capacities
Built with heavy-duty internal spur gearing, the GFV4G15 minimizes back-lash and provides high mechanical power transmission efficiency. When operating alongside a compatible 60 W pinion shaft motor, this assembly accommodates a permissible overhung (radial) load of up to 300 N (67.4 lb) at 10 mm from the shaft end, increasing to 350 N (78.7 lb) at 20 mm. Additionally, it handles a continuous permissible thrust/axial load of up to 100 N (22.5 lb).
Precise Speed Management and Industrial Integration
The GFV4G15 scales the base motor speed by a precise factor of 15, modifying a standard 100 to 4000 r/min variable velocity spectrum into a stable 6.7 to 267 r/min output range at the output shaft. The gearhead comes complete with dedicated mounting screws and a parallel mechanical key for direct, zero-slip fastening. Its factory-lubricated enclosure ensures long-term maintenance-free implementation across multi-axis automated assemblies, material handling conveyances, and high-torque machinery.
