New CI/D1 Explosion-Proof AC & BLDC Type “FX” Gearmotors
Now available: (40) all-new CI/D1, Explosion-Proof AC and BLDC gearmotors for use in Hazardous Locations. AC models are offered with either 230VAC or 460VAC Inverter-Duty (3-ph) windings. Our brushless DC models are offered with 12V or 24VDC winding options. The products meet IP-66. Available ratios are 5:1 to 300:1, with rated torque up to 350VIEW
New Fan Shrouds for Bodine type 34R, 42R, and 48R – TEFC AC Gearmotors and Motors
Starting this fall, we are rolling out new fan shrouds for our standard type 34R, 42R and 48R AC induction gearmotors and motors (48Rs, likely early 2022). The new, metal fan shrouds are several times stronger than the old metal designs and will provide superior protection to the fan end of the AC gearmotors andVIEW
Molecular Distillation Equipment for the Cannabis Industry
A manufacturer of CBD distillation equipment required a gearmotor to precisely control the flow and speed of liquid material through their new distillation apparatus. Working with an authorized Bodine distributor and our sales team, the manufacturer selected several of our variable speed AC inverter duty gearmotors, combined with inverter drives (VFDs) and a PLC controlVIEW
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-voltageVIEW
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 lessVIEW
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 deliverVIEW
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 othersVIEW
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. AllVIEW
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.VIEW
