Video: How to Connect a PMDC Gearmotor to a Filtered PWM DC Speed Control

Video: How to Connect a PMDC Gearmotor to a Filtered PWM DC Speed Control

In this new How-To video, we are demonstrating how to connect a 130VDC, two-wire PMDC gearmotor to a Bodine WPM PMDC motor speed control powered from a 115VAC/60Hz/1-phase line. In this example, we used a Bodine stock model 6071, type 33A-HG/H, 130VDC hollow shaft gearmotor, powered by a 0-130VDC (out), type WPM Speed control item

Powerful, Efficient Hypoid Gearmotors

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

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
