Peak or Obtainable Torque from small (FHP) Gearmotors and Motors

Peak or Obtainable Torque from small (FHP) Gearmotors and Motors

It can get confusing when we discuss “Peak” or “Obtainable” torque for small (fractional HP = less than 1HP/746W) gearmotors and motors because terminology and definitions sometimes change between AC and DC motors, gearmotors, or when a motor speed control is used. AC  Motors: in non-synchronous AC induction motors, we define obtainable torque as breakdown torque.

Bodine Electric — A Brief History in Motion…

Over a century ago, two Swedish immigrant brothers, Carl and Paul Bodine, recognized that industrial machinery required stronger, more reliable motors than those currently on the market. In 1905 they rented a small loft in Chicago for their company headquarters and concentrated on developing durable small motors. A Century of Innovative Design As the demand
