AC Inverters (VFDs) for Variable Speed Applications

AC Inverters (VFDs) for Variable Speed Applications

Standard AC motors provide low-cost, low maintenance power for almost any industrial application. However, they have limitations. They run at only one (fixed) speed, meaning sprockets, pulleys or a gearbox are required for speed reduction. AC inverter-duty (variable speed) gearmotors feature either 230 VAC or 230/460 VAC AC 3-phase windings, specifically designed with inverter rated

What is a Gearmotor?

What is a Gearmotor?

In our company history, we mention that Bodine Electric is one of the pioneers in the design and development of small (fractional HP = FHP, less than 1 HP) gearmotors in North America. Bodine Electric introduced the first integral gearmotors in the 1920s. Here is a brief discussion on how we define a gearmotor or
