Introduction to Motor Constants for Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors

Introduction to Motor Constants for Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors

Motor constants are needed to calculate permanent magnet DC (PMDC) or brushless DC (BLDC or EC) motor specifications and ratings, or to match the motor properly to an amplifier. The motor constants are required in order to predict the PMDC or BLDC motor’s performance with changing variables, such as different input voltages or different loads. (See below PDF

How to Select and Size Gearmotors for Conveyor Applications

How to Select and Size Gearmotors for Conveyor Applications

This post provides step-by-step instructions for how to size and select a gearmotor in a belt-driven conveyor application. Before sizing a gearmotor, we must first know the application requirements. For our example, the conveyor system requirements are as follows: Able to handle a 200lb (90kg) load Have adjustable speed, up to 12 inches/second Be able

What is a Gearmotor?

In our company history, we mention that Bodine Electric is one of the pioneers in the design and development of small (fractional HP = FHP, less than 1 HP) gearmotors in North America. Bodine Electric introduced the first integral gearmotors in the 1920s. Here is a brief discussion on how we define a gearmotor or

Choosing the Right Gearmotor for Your Application

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 shaft
