Vortex Output Hubs, Brackets & Mounting Accessories

Vortex output hub collars, output bracket kits, and X-Series mounting accessories for VXT shaft mount reducers and X / XS / XH worm gear reducers. Output hub collars (OHC) retain the bushing in the VXT hollow output bore. Output bracket kits (XOB) provide an alternate mounting configuration for X-Series reducers. The XBH, XBL, XRB, and XTM bracket families provide hub, base leg, reaction, and top mount options for X-Series installations. Texas Belting and Supply stocks 9 VXT output hub collars, 8 X-Series output bracket kits, and 33 X-Series mounting accessories across sizes 133 through 325.

• Foot-mount conversion of an X-Series reducer using an output bracket kit (XOB)
• Direct shaft mounting of an X-Series reducer via the hub bracket (XBH) family
• Alternate mounting orientations (base leg, top mount, reaction) for X-Series

Frequently Asked Questions

Which VXT output hub collar do you need?

OHC kits are size-matched to the VXT: 2OHC for VXT2, 5OHC for VXT5, and so on through 10OHC for VXT10. The collar retains the tapered bushing kit in the VXT hollow output bore.

Which X-Series mounting bracket family fits your application?

XOB is the output bracket kit for foot mounting. XBH provides hub-style mounting for direct shaft installation. XBL provides a base leg mount for alternate orientation. XRB is the reaction bracket for shaft-mount torque reaction. XTM provides a top-mount orientation. Match the size number (133 through 325) to your X-Series reducer unit size.

Are these accessories used together?

Yes, in many X-Series installations a complete drive uses an XOB or XBH for primary mounting and an XRB or torque arm for reaction. Call (888) 203-2358 if you need help speccing the complete bracket set for your drive.

What reducer family is each output hub or mounting accessory for?

Each accessory in this collection is labeled with the reducer family it fits (X-Series, VXT-Series, VR-Series, or VMRV-Series). Filter by reducer family or browse by accessory type. Each product page also indicates the specific reducer size and configuration the accessory matches.

Does Texas Belting and Supply ship from Houston?

Yes. All Vortex output hubs, brackets & mounting accessories in our active inventory ship from Texas Belting and Supply's Houston, TX warehouse the same business day for orders placed before 3 PM Central time, subject to current inventory. Non-stocked configurations may have a 1-3 business day lead time. Call (888) 203-2358 to confirm current stock for any specific part.

How do I know which size accessory I need?

Match the accessory to your existing reducer. The accessory part number prefix tells you the family (VXT vs X-Series vs VMRV vs VR). The number in the SKU tells you the unit size (2-12 for VXT, 30-110 for VMRV, 133-325 for X-Series). If you cannot identify your reducer's exact specification, call (888) 203-2358 with the existing reducer's nameplate information and we will help you spec the right accessory.
