How to Select and Size Gearmotors for Conveyor Applications

This post provides step-by-step instructions for how to size and select a gearmotor in a belt-driven conveyor application. Before sizing a gearmotor, we must first know the application requirements. For our example, the conveyor system requirements are as follows: Able to handle a 200lb (90kg) load Have adjustable speed, up to 12 inches/second Be able

Visit us at Automate 2019, Chicago. Booth No. N8428.

We are excited to be exhibiting at the Automate show again this year. Stop by our booth to learn what’s new at Bodine Electric Company. We feature a new family of (80) SCR-Rated PMDC gearmotors (90V or 180VDC, 2500 RPM armature speed). (40) new BLDC or PMDC planetary gearmotors. And a sneak preview of our

Safe Operating Area (SOA) Ratings of AC Inverter Duty Gearmotors Explained

What is Safe Operating Torque and Speed? We define SOA Torque as the maximum torque at which the motor still operates within Class F thermal limits, or as the maximum torque of a gearmotor when it is gear-strength limited. Continuous duty operation must be limited to the area below the SOA or gear-limited torque curves.

How to Wire a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) 4-Wire-Reversible AC Motor or Gearmotor

Instructions for Wiring or Reversing a 4-Wire AC Gearmotor or Motor Example: Bodine gearmotor stock model 0670, type 42R-5N. Connection Diagram 07410296. Identify the wire colors and confirm that you have a 4-wire-reversible PSC (permanent split capacitor) motor or gearmotor. Bodine stock motors and gearmotors will have black, blue, black-yellow, blue-yellow motor leads and a

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
