Molecular Distillation Equipment for the Cannabis Industry

Molecular Distillation Equipment for the Cannabis Industry

A manufacturer of CBD distillation equipment required a gearmotor to precisely control the flow and speed of liquid material through their new distillation apparatus. Working with an authorized Bodine distributor and our sales team, the manufacturer selected several of our variable speed AC inverter duty gearmotors, combined with inverter drives (VFDs) and a PLC control

Updated 34B/SR-WX Brushless DC Gearmotors - 12/24VDC, CI/D2

Updated 34B/SR-WX Brushless DC Gearmotors – 12/24VDC, CI/D2

Brushless DC Gearmotors with Built-In Speed Control. Easy Set-Up! These new 34B/SR-WX, brushless DC, 12 or 24VDC, INTEGRAmotor gearmotors are ideal for low-voltage applications in remote locations that operate off-grid, from battery or solar power. The new geared motors are also suitable for a wide range of industrial or medical applications that only allow low-voltage

Powerful, Efficient Hypoid Gearmotors

Powerful, Efficient Hypoid Gearmotors

Right-angle gearmotors with hypoid gearsets have several advantages over standard worm and worm-gear gearmotors. While they cost more to manufacture, hypoid gearmotors are more efficient, produce less heat, provide higher torque, and are usually smaller than equivalent gearmotors with worm- and worm-gear reducers. More Efficient at Low Speeds and High Reductions Hypoid gears require less

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

How to Connect a 3-Wire-Reversible 1-Phase PSC Gearmotor or Motor

In this How-To video, we explain how to connect and wire a run capacitor to one of our stock PSC (single-phase), 3-wire-reversible AC (fixed speed) gearmotors (type WX & FX). Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) gearmotors require a run capacitor to be connected to the winding at all times. Copyright Bodine Electric Company © 03/2020. All

Planetary Gearmotors Deliver Precise Motion

Planetary Gearmotors Deliver Precise Motion

24 VDC gearmotors provide precise positioning for mobile motion control application: A manufacturer of mobile antenna systems required two gearmotors to position the antenna to connect to orbiting telecommunications satellites. The gearmotors deliver precise motion during the initial calibration with the satellite, and then remain idle until the antenna is moved to a new location.

New 34R4-WX AC Inverter Duty Stock Models Now Available

New 34R4-WX AC Inverter Duty Stock Models Now Available

Our WX gearhead is now available with our inverter-duty, AC three-phase type 34R4 winding. The WX is a high-torque gearhead, built to provide longer life and higher performance than gearmotors of similar size. The dual voltage, 230/460VAC rated winding makes this gearmotor compatible with many AC inverter drives (VFDs) and for many industrial applications. The

Gearmotor Talk with Lisa and Terry - Automate 2019

Gearmotor Talk with Lisa and Terry – Automate 2019

Live from Automate 2019. Our business development manager is interviewed by DesignWorld's Lisa Eitel. 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.

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

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
