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

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

Introduction to Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors – Tom’s Toolbox (Mi)

This video provides answers to questions like: What is a gearmotor? Why use FHP gearmotors? We talk about some of their main features and benefits, and we review the most common gearing and gearhead styles: parallel shaft, right angle, and planetary (center shaft) gearmotors.

Brushless DC Gearmotor Overview – Features and Benefits

Brushless DC (EC) Gearmotors and Motors – What Is a Brushless DC Motor? Brushless DC motors could be called “inside-out permanent magnet motors” because brushless DC motors have their magnets on the rotating part of the motor instead of on the stationary part. Accordingly, they have their windings on the stationary part of the motor

Sizing a Fuse for a Bodine Gearmotor, Motor or Speed Control

Benefits of Fuse Protection 1. A fuse between the motor and AC line (to be used with single phase AC motors/gearmotors) provides motor protection under stall conditions and protects personnel from ground faults in the motor. It may not protect the motor from overheating under overload conditions. 2. A fuse between the motor and its

Introduction to Brushless DC (EC) Motor and Gearmotor Technology

Brushless DC Gearmotors and Motors In Section 3.1 of the Bodine Electric Handbook we discuss how motor action is achieved in a conventional permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor. A segmented commutator rotating within a stationary magnetic field causes mechanical switching of the armature current. In a brushless DC (BLDC) gearmotor or motor, the magnetic field
