Upgrade Your Belt Drive to a Direct Drive

Converting a v-belt-driven reducer to a direct drive Bevel BuddyBox 4 is easy. Switching to a BBB4 direct drive eliminates the sheaves and achieves the speed strictly through the reducer ratio. The Bevel BuddyBox 4 combines the strength and flexibility of the Cyclo® gear reducer and a single-stage right-angle spiral bevel gearbox in a rugged right-angle gearbox design. With a 24-month warranty, regardless of hours of operation, the Cyclo^® BBB4 is an excellent choice for any heavy-duty aggregate application.

On average, an average-sized plant replaces at least 4 v-belts on reducers a month. Here's the breakdown of the approximate annual loss.

Use the first calculator on the left to calculate the overall ratio. The remaining information to complete the conversion is simply motor horsepower, pulley shaft diameter, orientation, and if a backstop is needed. The 2nd and 3rd tables below will assist in figuring out FPM with different information available.
