Who is Motovario and what does it make?
Motovario is an Italian manufacturer of gear motors, variable speed drives and electric motors, founded in 1965 in Formigine. The published range covers helical gearboxes (H series), helical-bevel gearboxes (B series), shaft-mounted gearboxes (S series), planetary gearboxes (HPL), mid-heavy-duty (MHD) gearboxes, worm gearboxes (VSF) and helical-bevel gearboxes (RW), complemented by variable speed drives (VAR), its own electric motors (M), drives (D) and control electronics (E).
The technical difference compared with a simple gearbox assembler lies in the PBZ series, with parallel helical and helical-bevel gearboxes on up to four reduction stages, designed for high power density in a compact footprint, useful where installation space is limited but the torque required is high. The network of over 30 assembly centres (MAC), approved and certified by Motovario, allows the gearbox to be configured with the motor wanted closer to the customer.
For the Romanian market, the Motovario range makes sense for handling machinery, packaging lines or process installations that require a standard gearbox, easy to replace through IEC-compatible dimensions, without being tied to a single design family for the whole service life of the machine.
What do we supply from the Motovario range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| H Series Helical and B Series Helical-Bevel Gearboxes | The H series covers helical gear gearboxes, and the B series helical-bevel ones, both being the basic families of the Motovario range for power transmission at low speeds. Typical application: conveyor belts, mixers and handling machinery where a fixed reduction ratio and compact mounting are required. The customer must confirm the reduction ratio, the output torque and the motor speed for exact selection. |
| S Series Shaft-Mounted and HPL Series Planetary Gearboxes | The S series mounts directly on the shaft of the driven machine, without its own support, reducing the number of components in the drive train, while the HPL series uses the planetary principle for high torque in a small footprint. The choice between the two depends on the installation space available and the output torque required by the application. |
| VSF Series Worm Gearboxes and PBZ Series Four-Stage Gearboxes | The VSF series uses the worm principle, suitable for high reduction ratios. The PBZ series combines parallel helical and helical-bevel gearboxes on up to four reduction stages, for high torques in a compact footprint, where a single stage would not cover the reduction ratio required. |
| Electric Motors, Variable Speed Drives and Drives (M, VAR, D, E) | The M family covers its own electric motors, dimensionally compatible with the gearboxes in the range, the VAR series offers variable speed drives for continuous mechanical speed adjustment, and the D and E families cover drives and control electronics for variable speed operation. The combination allows a complete motor-gearbox-drive assembly to be supplied, not just the gearbox. |

How do we supply Motovario in Romania?
From the manufacturer's technical documentation we know the Motovario families of gearboxes, variable speed drives and drives, but the exact availability from stock of a configuration is confirmed directly at the time of order. We bring in Motovario products to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks, depending on the family and on the motor-gearbox configuration requested; we do not keep this range on the shelf. For a quotation we need the reduction ratio or the output speed wanted, the torque required, the motor power and the mounting type (shaft-mounted, foot-mounted or flanged). For special configurations or non-standard motors, we set the exact lead time in the quotation, according to the specifications.
The reduction ratio and the motor-gearbox configuration available at any given time are established for each order, before the quotation.
Frequently asked questions about Motovario
What product range does Motovario have?
Motovario makes gear motors, variable speed drives, electric motors and drives, as an Italian manufacturer founded in 1965 in Formigine. The range covers seven gearbox families (H, B, S, HPL, MHD, VSF, RW), plus the PBZ series on four reduction stages and its own motors from the M family.
How do I choose the right Motovario gearbox for my machine?
Selection starts from the reduction ratio or output speed wanted, the torque required and the mounting type: shaft-mounted (S series), foot-mounted or flanged. For high torques in a small footprint, the HPL (planetary) or PBZ (multi-stage) families are usually the right choice. Send the application parameters for exact selection.
What is the equivalent of the Motovario PBZ series in the standard range?
The PBZ series combines parallel helical and helical-bevel gearboxes on up to four stages, and is characterised by high power density, compact footprint and modularity. The exact choice of stage depends on the total reduction ratio required.
Can you supply Motovario gearboxes in Romania and in what time?
Yes, we bring in Motovario products to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks, depending on the family and the motor-gearbox configuration chosen. We do not keep this range on our own shelves, and the exact lead time is confirmed after the configuration is checked at the manufacturer.
What data do you need for a Motovario gear motor quotation?
For a quotation we need the reduction ratio or the output speed wanted, the torque required, the motor power, the supply voltage and the preferred mounting type. If speed adjustment is needed, specify whether you prefer a mechanical variable speed drive (VAR series) or an electronic drive (D series).
How do I request a Motovario quotation?
Send the Motovario code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
