Gearmotor Talk with Lisa and Terry - Automate 2019

Gearmotor Talk with Lisa and Terry – Automate 2019

Live from the @AutomateShow 2019. Our business development manager is interviewed by @DesignWorld ‘s @DW_LisaEitel. They are discussing our #gearmotor and #motor offerings for Hazardous Locations. We developed a new family of Explosion-Proof Class I/Div.1 (Group C & D) BLDC and Inverter Duty motors and gearmotors that will be available later this year.

Bodine CG Gearmotors Lift up to 10,000 Pounds

Bodine CG Gearmotors Lift up to 10,000 Pounds

High Torque 24 VDC gearmotors drive vertical boat lift. A boat lift manufacturer contacted our engineering team to assist in the development of a new high load capacity vertical boat lift. The application demanded that the gearmotor be suitable for long-term use in a harsh waterfront environment, deliver high starting and running torque, positive locking

Safe Operating Area (SOA) Ratings of AC Inverter Duty Gearmotors Explained

Safe Operating Area (SOA) Ratings of AC Inverter Duty Gearmotors Explained

What is Safe Operating Torque and Speed? We define SOA Torque as the maximum torque at which the motor still operates within Class F thermal limits, or as the maximum torque of a gearmotor when it is gear-strength limited. Continuous duty operation must be limited to the area below the SOA or gear-limited torque curves.

How to Wire a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) 4-Wire-Reversible AC Motor or Gearmotor

Instructions for Wiring or Reversing a 4-Wire AC Gearmotor or Motor Example: Bodine gearmotor stock model 0670, type 42R-5N. Connection Diagram 07410296. Identify the wire colors and confirm that you have a 4-wire-reversible PSC (permanent split capacitor) motor or gearmotor. Bodine stock motors and gearmotors will have black, blue, black-yellow, blue-yellow motor leads and a

How to Install a Bodine mod#0984 terminal box to a Bodine AC motor or gearmotor

Installing a Terminal Box onto a Motor/Gearmotor (IP-44) Example: Terminal Box model 0984. Mounting Instructions 07400067E. The motor/gearmotor is factory-installed with a bushing on the lead exit. In order to install the terminal box onto the motor/gearmotor, this bushing must be removed. Unscrew and remove the plastic bushing from the motor/gearmotor’s center ring terminal opening

New Planetary PMDC Gearmotors Provide up to Twice the Torque!

New Planetary PMDC Gearmotors Provide up to Twice the Torque!

We are excited to introduce our new type 24A4-60P planetary gearmotors. This integral gearmotor design combines our high-performance type 24A PMDC motor with the all-new 60P (60mm) planetary gearhead. It is ideal for applications that require higher torque than conventional helical/spur gearheads of a similar size can provide, and where very low backlash gearhead is

What is a Synchronous AC Motor? Hysteresis- and Reluctance-Type Designs

Introduction The difference between the speed of the rotating magnetic field of an induction motor (which is always synchronous) and the speed of the rotor is known as “slip.” When the rotor design enables it to “lock into step” with the field, the slip is reduced to zero and the motor is said to run
