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

What is a Gearmotor?

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

Bodine CG Gearmotors Lift up to 10,000 Pounds

High Torque 24 VDC gearmotors drive vertical boat lift. A boat lift manufacturer contacted our engineering team to assist in the development of a new high load capacity vertical boat lift. The application demanded that the gearmotor be suitable for long-term use in a harsh waterfront environment, deliver high starting and running torque, positive locking

How to Install a Bodine mod#0984 terminal box to a Bodine AC motor or gearmotor

Installing a Terminal Box onto a Motor/Gearmotor (IP-44) Example: Terminal Box model 0984. Mounting Instructions 07400067E. The motor/gearmotor is factory-installed with a bushing on the lead exit. In order to install the terminal box onto the motor/gearmotor, this bushing must be removed. Unscrew and remove the plastic bushing from the motor/gearmotor’s center ring terminal opening

Our Visit to PackExpo Chicago – October 2018

Always fun to visit PackExpo and to see new gearmotor applications: Conveyors are exhibited in all sizes and shapes. Some are powered by parallel shaft gearmotors, others are powered by right-angle or hollow shaft gearmotors. Both AC and PMDC variable speed and fixed speed… AC Inverters = VFDs = Variable Speed Drives… And our friends

New “SCR Rated” Stock Gearmotors Now Available!

In response to the obsolescence of the Baldor-Reliance fractional horsepower (FHP) gearmotor line, we are excited to announce the addition of (80) new 90V and 180VDC gearmotors that are fully compatible with unfiltered SCR speed controls. The gearmotors feature SCR rated windings that run at 2500 RPM armature speed at 90V or 180VDC respectively. The

New Planetary PMDC Gearmotors Provide up to Twice the Torque!

We are excited to introduce our new type 24A4-60P planetary gearmotors. This integral gearmotor design combines our high-performance type 24A PMDC motor with the all-new 60P (60mm) planetary gearhead. It is ideal for applications that require higher torque than conventional helical/spur gearheads of a similar size can provide, and where very low backlash gearhead is
