Oriental Motor GFV4G30 Product Overview
The Oriental Motor GFV4G30 is a heavy-duty parallel shaft spur gearhead designed specifically for integration with Oriental Motor’s 60 W (1/12 HP) brushless DC motor series (such as the BLM pinion shaft motors used with BMU and BLE2 drivers). Engineered with an 80 mm (3.15 in.) square flange frame size, this high-performance gearhead provides a 30:1 speed reduction and corresponding torque multiplication, delivering optimized mechanical efficiency and precise velocity control for industrial automation machinery.

Mechanical Efficiency and Overhung Load Capacities
Constructed with precision case-hardened spur gears, the GFV4G30 minimizes internal mechanical friction and backlash to maintain stable speed transmission under variable load profiles. When paired with a 60 W motor, the gearhead safely accommodates a permissible overhung (radial) load of up to 400 N at 10 mm from the shaft end (450 N at 20 mm). It also supports a continuous permissible axial thrust load limit of 100 N.
Maintenance-Free Industrial Integration
The GFV4G30 features a fully sealed, factory-lubricated enclosure, eliminating the need for periodic grease replenishment throughout its entire 10,000-hour rated operating span. By reducing the base motor velocity by a factor of 30, it transforms a standard 80 to 4000 r/min motor range into a highly stable 2.7 to 133 r/min output. Standardized structural dimensions and included mounting hardware permit immediate, secure coupling to automated conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and precise indexing stages.
