Updated 34B/SR-WX Brushless DC Gearmotors – 12/24VDC, CI/D2

Brushless DC Gearmotors with Built-In Speed Control. Easy Set-Up! These new 34B/SR-WX, brushless DC, 12 or 24VDC, INTEGRAmotor gearmotors are ideal for low-voltage applications in remote locations that operate off-grid, from battery or solar power. The new geared motors are also suitable for a wide range of industrial or medical applications that only allow low-voltage

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

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

Bodine Electric Company Celebrates 115-Year Anniversary

More than a century ago, two Swedish immigrant brothers, Carl and Paul Bodine, recognized that industrial machinery required stronger, more reliable motors than those on the market. Our company was built on the principles of providing the highest quality gearmotor and motor solutions in the industry. 115 years later, our mission is still to deliver

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

Cannabis Industry to Reign Supreme in 2020

We visited MJBizCon in Las Vegas in December 2019 — a premier trade show for Cannabis Industry related products and services (Marijuana Business Daily put on this trade show event). We saw a lot of innovative automation equipment that is used in the Marijuana Business for cultivating, trimming, extracting, packaging, and processing the various products.

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
