AC Induction Motors with Squirrel Cage Rotors
Why is it called a “squirrel cage rotor?”: Most fractional horsepower (FHP) AC induction motors utilize a die cast rotor design that consists of a skewed lamination stack with die cast rotor bars and end rings. The common term for this rotor design is “squirrel cage”, because if you remove the steel laminations after theVIEW
Introduction to Worm Gearing
Worm gearing is a proven and economical solution for applications that require high speed reductions in limited space, and with very smooth and quiet operation. Worm gears have inherent self-locking ability depending on design and ratio. Lubrication is very important for the life of the worm gear set and efficiency can be improved by usingVIEW
Choosing the Right Gearmotor for Your Application
What is a gearmotor? A gearmotor consists of a small motor designed specifically with an integrated gear reducer (gearhead). The end shield on the drive end of the motor provides a dual function. The side facing the motor provides the armature/rotor bearing support and a sealing provision through which the integral rotor or armature shaftVIEW
Bodine 24A and 42A Motors Successfully Pass UL’s IP-66 Test
OEM applications often require gearmotors and motors that exceed the design features of our standard products. But with over 110 years of design and application engineering experience with FHP motors and gearmotors, we can add and include special design features and modifications for those demanding OEM applications. One such example is our recent approval by Underwriters LaboratoryVIEW
