These type 42R-25H2 and 42R-30H3 geared motors combine an all-new ac inverter-duty, 230/460 Vac motor with two hypoid gearheads. When used with an ac inverter (VFD) control, these gear motors deliver maintenance-free, reliable high torque output. They are suitable for conveyors, gates, packaging […]
Bodine debuts new stainless-steel, inverter-duty, hollow-shaft gearmotors
Bodine Electric Company has introduced six new type 56R1-50JW/H stainless-steel hollow-shaft gearmotors. These new geared motors combine a stainless-steel ac inverter-duty, 230/460 Vac motor with a stainless-steel hollow-shaft gearhead. When used with an ac inverter (VFD) control, these gearmotors deliver variable speed and maintenance free operation over a wide speed range. Ideal for equipment that […]
How to get zero backlash out of gearing?
Gearmotors use gears to reduce speed, which makes more torque available. The kind of gears used in gearmotors have an impact on the available torque, but also on things like noise levels and accuracy. In fact, one of the more common sources of inaccuracy in gearmotors is due to gear backlash. So reducing the amount […]
New mini planetary gearmotors for small stepper motors
Applied Motion Products’ new PH Series mini planetary gearmotors are used with small step motors in NEMA 8, 11, and 14 frame sizes. The small design of the gearheads allows them to be paired with small motors and doesn’t adversely affect the outside dimensions of the combined gearmotor. These gearmotors are used in applications where […]
