Right-angle speed reducer for 56C-frame motors
The Boston Gear F842B-36K-B5-M1 is a helical speed reducer with a 36:1 ratio and C-face input for 56C-frame motors. It delivers a maximum output speed of 48 RPM and up to 1254 in-lb of output torque at 1 hp input power. Mounting orientation can be any angle.
Fixed 36:1 reduction ratio
The single ratio determines output speed and torque multiplication for the driven load. At a maximum input of 1750 RPM the output is 48 RPM, so the unit suits applications needing that specific reduction. A different ratio would change both speed and torque figures.
Hardened steel gears and roller bearings
Hardened and ground steel gearing with roller bearings supports the 770 lb overhung load capacity. The construction handles the rated torque in either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What does the 36:1 ratio mean for output speed when the input runs at 1,750 RPM?
The reducer divides input speed by 36, so at 1,750 RPM the output turns at roughly 48 RPM.
How does the C-Face 56C input connection limit the motor size I can use?
It accepts NEMA 56C frame motors up to 1 hp; larger frames or higher power will not bolt on.
What shaft height and bolt pattern does the 1.97 in base-to-center dimension give me?
The output centreline sits 1.97 in above the mounting surface, matching the standard 56C footprint for direct replacement.
