Brushless DC Right Angle Gearmotors

Bodine brushless DC right-angle gearmotors feature worm-and-pinion gear sets and brushless DC motors. Worm gearing is a proven, economical solution for applications that require smooth and quiet operation in tight spaces. Depending on the design and gear ratio, worm gearheads can be self-locking, meaning back driving is not possible. All Bodine worm-gear gearboxes are permanently lubricated with high-performance lubricant, and feature bronze gears for high shock load capability. The worm gear is hardened and ground for high strength and long life. Bodine brushless DC right-angle gearmotors are driven by brushless DC (also called electronically commutated) motors. Brushless DC gear motors require very little maintenance, provide long life, quiet operation, and produce more output power per frame size than a similar-sized AC or permanent magnet DC motors and gearmotors. Bodine offers five brushless DC right angle gearmotor types: 3N, 3RD, 5N, 3F, and 5N, with 22B and 34B motors. Type 3F models can be selected with hollow shaft configuration. 24VDC and 130VDC windings are available. All Bodine gearhead-motor combinations are designed to work together as one integrated unit, eliminating the chance for lubricant leakage or bearing misalignment. The geared motors reduce the motor speed from as low as 0.7 rpm to 500 rpm. The amount of output torque they provide is dependent on the motor power, speed, and gear ratio. The Bodine family of brushless DC right-angle gearmotors delivers continuous rated output torque up to 147 lb-in (17 Nm). 

Typical applications include medical and laboratory equipment, labeling and packaging machines, conveyors and a wide range of factory automation solutions. Low-voltage models ideal for battery, solar, and off-grid remote applications.
