Gearmotor Tips from Bodine Electric: Type 33A or 42A DC Motor Brush Replacement

Gearmotor Tips from Bodine Electric: Type 33A or 42A DC Motor Brush Replacement

In this Gearmotor Tips video, we demonstrate how to inspect and replace the carbon brushes in a Bodine type 33A or 42A permanent magnet DC (PMDC) stock gearmotor or motor. Our stock 33A and 42A PMDC gearmotors and motors use a unique method of maintaining a constant force on the motor brushes. A roll-type spring

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.

Our Visit to PackExpo Chicago – October 2018

Always fun to visit PackExpo and to see new gearmotor applications: Conveyors are exhibited in all sizes and shapes. Some are powered by parallel shaft gearmotors, others are powered by right-angle or hollow shaft gearmotors. Both AC and PMDC variable speed and fixed speed… AC Inverters = VFDs = Variable Speed Drives… And our friends
