Powerful, Efficient Hypoid Gearmotors

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 less

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 deliver

Gearmotor Winding Options - AC, PMDC, and BLDC (EC)

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 others

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. All

New 34R4-WX AC Inverter Duty Stock Models Now Available

New 34R4-WX AC Inverter Duty Stock Models Now Available

Our WX gearhead is now available with our inverter-duty, AC three-phase type 34R4 winding. The WX is a high-torque gearhead, built to provide longer life and higher performance than gearmotors of similar size. The dual voltage, 230/460VAC rated winding makes this gearmotor compatible with many AC inverter drives (VFDs) and for many industrial applications. The

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
