Single-Reduction Right-Angle “6RX” Gearmotors Fit in Tight Spaces
Available with three different permanent magnet DC motor options, the 6RX gearmotors are ideal for a range of industrial and mobility applications that require a very narrow gearhead. The 6RX gearhead is offered with our 37A and 42A PMDC motors and various high- and low-voltage winding options (12,24,90,130 and 180 VDC). The gearmotors are availableVIEW
Introduction to Worm Gearing
Worm gearing is a proven and economical solution for applications that require high speed reductions in limited space, and with very smooth and quiet operation. Worm gears have inherent self-locking ability depending on design and ratio. Lubrication is very important for the life of the worm gear set and efficiency can be improved by usingVIEW
Choosing the Right Gearmotor for Your Application
What is a gearmotor? A gearmotor consists of a small motor designed specifically with an integrated gear reducer (gearhead). The end shield on the drive end of the motor provides a dual function. The side facing the motor provides the armature/rotor bearing support and a sealing provision through which the integral rotor or armature shaftVIEW
Bodine 24A and 42A Motors Successfully Pass UL’s IP-66 Test
OEM applications often require gearmotors and motors that exceed the design features of our standard products. But with over 110 years of design and application engineering experience with FHP motors and gearmotors, we can add and include special design features and modifications for those demanding OEM applications. One such example is our recent approval by Underwriters LaboratoryVIEW
Introduction to Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors – Tom’s Toolbox (Mi)
This video provides answers to questions like: What is a gearmotor? Why use FHP gearmotors? We talk about some of their main features and benefits, and we review the most common gearing and gearhead styles: parallel shaft, right angle, and planetary (center shaft) gearmotors.VIEW
Brushless DC Gearmotor Overview – Features and Benefits
Brushless DC (EC) Gearmotors and Motors – What Is a Brushless DC Motor? Brushless DC motors could be called “inside-out permanent magnet motors” because brushless DC motors have their magnets on the rotating part of the motor instead of on the stationary part. Accordingly, they have their windings on the stationary part of the motorVIEW
Electromagnetic Holding Brakes for Small Gearmotors and Motors
Holding, or “Power-Off,” brakes provide extra safety in applications where the load must remain in position in the event of power loss or equipment failure. Our design engineers have helped OEMs develop brake systems for hundreds of AC and DC applications, from home stairlifts to industrial applications. In this article, we focus on the principlesVIEW
