Boston Gear 56C Worm Reducer
The Boston Gear F710-10-B5-G is a worm-gear speed reducer built for a NEMA 56C motor frame. It provides a fixed 10:1 reduction with a 1-inch worm center distance and a 1.31-inch base-to-center height. The unit delivers a maximum output speed of 175 RPM and a peak output torque of 107 in-lb.
Suits constant-speed conveyor drives
This reducer suits applications needing a single, right-angle output at a steady 175 RPM maximum. It is not for variable-speed systems, high-cycle indexing, or installations requiring a hollow output bore. Buyers needing a different ratio or a flange-mounted output should look at other models.
Cast-iron housing handles sustained load
A cast-iron housing with tapered roller bearings dissipates heat during continuous duty. The hardened and ground steel worm gear maintains the 107 in-lb torque rating under prolonged operation without the thermal fade common in lighter housings. The 150 lb overhung load capacity supports shaft-mounted pulleys or sprockets during extended runs.

Questions about this item
Will my 56C-frame motor bolt straight to the C-face input?
Yes, the reducer is built for a 56C motor frame and uses a C-face input connection.
If I keep my existing 10:1 reducer, will the output shaft height match this unit?
This unit has a 1.31 in base-to-center height and a 1 in worm centre distance; check your old unit against those figures.
How can I confirm the reducer is delivering the rated 107 in-lb after installation?
Run the motor at full load and measure output torque; it should reach 107 in-lb without exceeding the 150 lb overhung-load limit.
