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

Gearmotor Winding Options - AC, PMDC, and BLDC (EC)

Gearmotor Winding Options – AC, PMDC, and BLDC (EC)

Winding design is one of the major factors that determines gearmotor performance. For example, the windings may be driven by AC or DC current. They may require a capacitor, or a control to run, and may be configured as single, split- or three-phase systems. Some motor types provide precise speed and position control, while others

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
