Stainless Steel AC Inverter-Duty Gearmotors

Stainless Steel AC Inverter-Duty Gearmotors

Rated IP-69K for protection against dust and high temperature, high pressure water ingress. Our new stainless steel AC right-angle gearmotors are ideal for machines and systems that are subject to intensive cleaning and daily washdowns. Regardless of whether the gearmotors are used for material handling, intralogistics, packaging, or clean room applications, their hygienic properties, long

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

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

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

AC Synchronous Gearmotors Simplify Design

AC Synchronous Gearmotors Simplify Design

Continuous band polybag sealers are used to package products from ground coffee, to snack foods, and from pet supplies to electronic products. They can seal almost any thermoplastic material, including polypropylene, polyethylene and foil laminates. These machines typically have two driven conveyors: the lower one moves packages through the machine, and the upper one drives

Visit us at Automate 2019, Chicago. Booth No. N8428.

We are excited to be exhibiting at the Automate show again this year. Stop by our booth to learn what’s new at Bodine Electric Company. We feature a new family of (80) SCR-Rated PMDC gearmotors (90V or 180VDC, 2500 RPM armature speed). (40) new BLDC or PMDC planetary gearmotors. And a sneak preview of our

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

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

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...

Introduction to AC Gearmotors and Motors

This blog post is from an updated section of Bodine Electric’s Small Motors Handbook. To download this article as a PDF, please click here. Although commutator and brush assemblies may be used in some types of alternating current (AC) gearmotors and motors (series-/universal wound), brushless induction-type designs are by far the most common and most reliable for industrial AC
