“These gearmotors offer ideal solutions for applications in industrial automation, automatic doors and windows, vending, packaging and many others,” said Intecno’s General Manager Moreno Ferrari.

The BLDC brushless micro gearmotors are available in three different sizes, and feature low voltage power supply of 24 VDC. The motors deliver a torque that range between 0.425 in-lbs (0.05Nm) and 3.80 in-lbs (0.43Nm).

“These motors are low voltage which optimizes safety in the work place, particularly in applications where the worker could be in direct contact with the motor,” added Ferrari.

For low cost and compactness, the motors have been equipped with Hall Sensors and can be supplied with an external drive control or an integrated control (IE version).

The motors right angle worm gearboxes are available in two sizes CM30 (30 mm center to center distance) and CM26 (26 mm center to center distance). Its ratios range from 5:1 up to 100:1.

Users can customize the planetary gearboxes to the application due to the possibility of utilizing plastic, metal or material mix versions. The motor is also offered in low noise (LN) version, which minimizes the gearbox noise and making it ideal for medial applications.

The company’s planetary gearboxes offer a vast array of reduction ratios, which range between 3.7: 1 (1 stage) and 2076:1 (4 stages). The planetary gearboxes are maintenance-free since they have already been lubricated with grease.

“We’ve taken a non-Bison-specific approach in this white paper so that design engineers as well as OEM purchasing authorities will find it helpful, no matter what size or type of gearmotor they may use or who their supplier may be,” said John Morehead, Bison Gear vice president, strategic planning and marketing. “The most important finding, drawing on nearly 50 years experience, is the necessity to involve one’s gearmotor supplier’s application engineers as early as possible in the design process. Inevitably, that ensures the best overall machine performance, durability and cost position.”

Some of the other key issues covered in the white paper include the value of proprietary gearmotor specifications, reasonable lead time expectations for custom engineered prototypes, benefits of an expanding product portfolio, production scalability and value-added opportunities.

Groschopp’s new IEC RA Gearboxes have hollow out-put allow options for right, left or dual shaft configurations. All nine sizes are in stock and ready to ship in 48 hours or less.

• Nine sizes from 26 mm – 130 mm
• Input Power 0.06 to 7.5kW, 1/15 to 10 hp
• Torque Range 10 to 1050 Nm, 5 to 10,000 in-lbs
• Versatile, Compact Design
• Multiple Mounting Configuration
• High-Quality, Lightweight Aluminum Construction

Sizes RA26 through RA90 have high thermal capacity die-cast aluminum housings, designed for exceptionally efficient heat dissipation, resulting in maximum torque output in a highly compact package. The larger sizes, RA110 and RA130, are cast iron. All housings are powder-coated, for a durable corrosion-free finish.

Tower of power

The new line of gearboxes features:

• flexible product configurations for foot, flange and shaft mounting, with optional torque arm.
• industry standard IEC input flanges.
• permanent synthetic long-life lubrication (sizes RA26-RA90) yields a maintenance-free, highly reliable speed reducer.
• symmetrical hollow output shaft facilitates gearbox mounting and plug-in shafts for easy assembly and installation.
• quiet operation and optimum efficiency with ground finished worm shafts and precision machining.

The gearmotors feature totally enclosed, non-ventilated (TENV) AC motors constructed with special insulation systems to ensure long life when driven by compact, economic frequency inverters that convert conventional AC single phase to three phase power. Employing integral gear reducers with gear ratios from 6.7:1 to 95.5:1 they offer output speeds from 368 to 1.7 RPM with output torques up to 100 in-lbs. (11.3 N-m).

The new Verdant Duty™ AC gearmotors will be introduced at the annual meeting of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) at the Hotel InterContinental in Chicago on December 5. “Environmental Sustainability” is a key topic on the agenda. With over 4,000 members, IMA is the oldest and largest state manufacturers’ association in the U.S.

The RoHS compliant gearmotors feature UL, cRUus and CE recognition and are supported by Bison’s Innopreneurial™ application and design engineering capabilities to customize standard models to meet specific OEM needs. Customers’ shortened supply chain requirements are fulfilled by the units being manufactured in Bison Gear’s St. Charles, Illinois facilities to the highest quality standards to ensure dependable, long-life operation.
