The new Bodine type 33A5BEPM-WX, permanent magnet DC, 1/11 to ¼ HP (up to 187 Watts), gearmotors (two winding options: rated 12/24 VDC or 90/130 VDC).

The WX gearmotors feature new all-steel gear trains and synthetic lubricants, allowing the WX to produce up to 65% more torque than previous models. The steel gearing is designed to meet or exceed AGMA 9 standards to assure the quiet operation that is expected from Bodine Electric products. The synthetic lubricant improves efficiency and allows these gearmotors to operate in a wide temperature range. Accessories include a bolt-on adaptor to convert the gearhead to 3-point mounting pattern, as well as an “L”-braket for flexible mounting and a IP-44 protection kit. Forty-eight new stock models feature 12 available gear ratios, ranging from 4:1 to 312:1, and rated output speeds from 658 to 2.9 RPM.

A new low-voltage type 33A PMDC motor with a winding rated 12/24 VDC and a standard 90/130 VDC motor are available to power the WX gearhead. Both motors provide high starting torque and linear speed torque characteristics. They feature permanently lubricated ball bearing construction for maintenance-free operation, as well heavy gauge steel housing and copper graphite brushes. The motors are Totally Enclosed, Non-Ventilated (TENV) and contain a Class F rated insulation system. Their windings are resin-impregnated to provide reliable performance in the most demanding applications. The motor armatures are designed to minimize cogging and to operate quietly. “Accessory ready” models allow for easy external mounting of encoders or brakes.

The latest WX gearhead features rugged, all-steel helical gears exceed or meet AGMA-9 standards for quiet operation and longest life. It also has a synthetic lubrication which allows the gearheads to operate in different temperatures. It can be configured to three-hole mounting pattern through a simple bolt-on adaptor (“Bodine model 0995”).

Also, the gearmotor has 12 new gear ratios with a three-wire reversible, fixed-speed AC motor.

The WX gearhead’s exterior is identical to old W models from Bodine, but its interior has been entirely redesigned. These all-new WX gearmotors has synthetic lubricant and steel helical gears, allowing the gearhead to give up to 50 percent more torque compared to previous models. Its new steel gearing has AGMA 9 standards, or higher, to insure the expected quiet operation from Bodine Electric products. Its synthetic lubricant improves life and allows unvented gearmotors to operate in different temperatures.

The 12 new WX stock models can be configured to feature a three-hole mounting pattern through a simple bolt-on adaptor plate (“Bodine model 0995”). The WX gearhead is the first to be paired with three-wire reversible 34 R from Bodine, motor winding and permanent split capacitor. Its three-wire configuration simplifies connection and reversing the motor’s direction by switching the place of its two leads. Also, new winding can be operated at 50Hz by using a different value run capacitor. The latest 230VAC, 50 or 60Hz, one-phase, three-wire reversible winding is available for custom configurations.

The WX models are made to drive various applications such as commercial appliances, metering devices, packaging equipment and conveyor systems.

The CG gearhead is paired with Bodine’s most powerful variable speed electric motors, the 48R6, AC inverter-duty, and 42A7 permanent magnet DC motors. This integral gearmotor design allows the CG to deliver up to 1,000 lb-in. of torque, which is nearly twice the torque of any previous Bodine product.

The CG gearmotor features a solid, aluminum cast gearhousing. It can be face-mounted in virtually any position, or mounted with a rigid base. Extra heavy-duty bearings and seals provide reliable operation and long life. Inside the gearhead three-stage, selectively hardened gearing and high performance lubricant insure quiet operation and high output torque. New DC accessory-ready models can be fitted with encoders, other feedback devices, or brakes.

The AC and DC models are the first of Bodine’s product line to be available through their new Quick Delivery program. This program is designed to ship customer orders in small order quantities within two to three working days. Products will be maintained in stock or assembled to order via a quick-turn production cell. Larger order quantities will require lead-time. Expedited delivery options are also available.

The 34R and 42R frame motors are now available with dual voltage windings and inverter duty ratings. When operated with an AC speed control (inverter), these motors have a speed range from 120-3,650 rpm; maximum torque of up to 281 oz-in. (2 Nm) and are rated from 1/4 to 3/8 HP. They can be matched with Bodine’s three most popular gearheads, the type E, F and 5N. The type E and F are both parallel shaft designs, with gear ratios from 5:1 to 300:1; their torque is rated from 25 to 341 lb-in. (up to 39 Nm), and power is rated up to 3/8 HP (280 W). The type 5N right-angle gearhead has gear ratios from 5:1 to 75:1. It provides a torque range between 54 and 116 lb-in. (up to 13 Nm) and up to 3/8 HP (280 W) power. Larger type 48R dual voltage motors and gearmotors are already available up to 3/4 HP (560 W).

All Bodine Pacesetter inverter duty AC motors and gearmotors feature Bodine’s Quintsulation™ 5-stage insulation system, which meets NEMA MG 1-1993, Section IV, Part 31. This insulation protects the motor from potential spikes or corona damage caused by the inverter. Pacesetter gearmotors are UL or CSA recognized for construction, cURus or CSA/UR marked, and in compliance with the Low Voltage Directive “CE”, and RoHS compliant.

12 volt PMDC gearmotors and motors are available in both 24A- and 33A-frame motor sizes. They can be built in combination with most of Bodine’s parallel shaft, hollow shaft or right-angle gearheads, with gearmotor output speeds from 5.6 to 417 rpm. Horsepower extends from 1/29 to 1/8 hp, and they are able to generate up to 310 lb-in torque. Higher output ratings are possible for intermittent duty applications. Custom models are available with encoders installed, special output shafts, cords, and customer-specific mounting configurations.

Bodine’s new Type WPM–12 VDC speed control is ideal for battery powered, solar powered and other low-voltage applications that require basic, single-direction speed control. This pulse-width-modulation (PWM) speed control provides cool motor operation, long brush life and lower audible noise and wider speed range. DIP-switches allow the control to be easily calibrated for different size motors.
