New 3-Wire-Reversible AC Fixed Speed Gearmotors

New 3-Wire-Reversible AC Fixed Speed Gearmotors

We expanded our popular FX line of parallel shaft gearmotors by adding (9) new AC models. The all-new 42R6-FX combines our new 3-wire reversible 42R frame AC induction motor with our completely redesigned and updated FX gearhead. The new gearmotor provides up to 40% more torque than previous E/F models. New synthetic lubricant allows the FX gearhead to operate at

Introduction to Brushless DC (EC) Motor and Gearmotor Technology

Introduction to Brushless DC (EC) Motor and Gearmotor Technology

Brushless DC Gearmotors and Motors In Section 3.1 of the Bodine Electric Handbook we discuss how motor action is achieved in a conventional permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor. A segmented commutator rotating within a stationary magnetic field causes mechanical switching of the armature current. In a brushless DC (BLDC) gearmotor or motor, the magnetic field

New 34B/FV-F INTEGRAmotor BLDC stock gearmotors

We just added a new series of 24V brushless DC (ECM) gearmotors to our standard INTEGRAmotor™ product line. The new type 34B4/FV-F gearmotors combine a PWM speed control, a brushless DC motor, a high-torque gearhead, and an optical encoder into one high-performance drive package. The 34B/FV-F gearmotors provide 1/4 hp (187 watts) and up to 341 lb-in. (39 Nm)

Low-Voltage DC Motor Speed Controls (12 & 24V) for PMDC Gearmotors and Motors

Low-Voltage DC Motor Speed Controls (12 & 24V) for PMDC Gearmotors and Motors

Bodine Electric Company developed four new stock models to provide simple and reliable speed control for low-voltage 12 or 24V PMDC gearmotor and motor applications (up to 1/3 HP / 250 Watts). The controls utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to insure quiet operation, low operating temperature and optimal brush life. The controls feature five trim pots to

New 12 And 24 Volt Brushless DC Speed Controls

The new type ABL-3906C low-voltage brushless DC controls provide variable speed control for BLDC (ECM) gearmotors and motors. The controls operate from a DC power supply or from a battery (12 VDC or 24 VDC, depending on the control model). They are ideal for portable or remote applications where connection to an AC line is not

What is an AC Torque Motor? When do I use one?

What is an AC Torque Motor? When do I use one?

Bodine Electric offers AC induction motors that are impedance protected – we call these types of motors AC Torque Motors. These motors are ideal for tensioning applications because they can operate in stall mode without overheating. Torque motors feature: Higher starting torque at lower speed and lower running torque. What does “impedance protection” mean? It
