New brushless dc hypoid gearmotors deliver high torque

June 6, 2024 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Bodine Electric Company has introduced 12 new brushless dc hypoid hollow shaft gearmotors. The type 42B-25H2 and 42B-30H3 geared motors combine a brushless dc, 130 Vdc motor with two hypoid gearheads. When used with a brushless dc motion control these gear motors deliver maintenance-free performance with high starting torque and linear speed-torque characteristics. They are ideal for industrial automation equipment that demands quiet operation, high-torque density, and a wide speed range.

These new BLDC (electronically commutated) hypoid gearmotors are designed to be high-performance, maintenance-free alternatives to gearmotors with standard worm gearing. The gearmotors are available with gear ratios from 5:1 to 240:1, provide up to 2,370 lb-in (268 Nm) of continuous torque, and speeds of up to 400 rpm. The unique hypoid gearheads are permanently lubricated and feature hardened steel gears for long-life and quiet operation. They can be face-mounted in any orientation via four tapped holes or through-bolts.

Driven by a maintenance-free, totally enclosed non-ventilated (TENV), 1/2 hp (368 W), brushless dc (130 Vdc) motor, the type 42B-25H2 and 42B-30H3 gearmotors are suitable for applications that require continuous operation and minimal down-time. The brushless motors feature a built-in 256 PPR, magnetic encoder with commutation track, and are rated IP-66 for protection from dust and water. They are terminated with two built-in watertight connectors (power and signals).

The new type 42B-25H2 (1-in. bore) and 42B-30H3 (1.25-in. bore) hollow shaft gearmotors optimize mounting space, simplify installation, and reduce the number of required parts. They can be connected directly to the driven load eliminating costly shaft couplings and mounting hardware that can be unsafe, bulky, and present alignment issues. These hollow shaft gearmotors offer left- or right-hand face mounts for maximum application flexibility.

Bodine offers various accessories including a base/foot mounting bracket for each gearhead, shaft kits, and a shaft cover kit for the non-extension shaft side of the gearhead.

Bodine’s new type 42B-25H2 and 42B-30H3 gearmotors and accessories are available through Bodine’s extensive distributor network or from the Bodine website. Custom options are available to qualified OEMs. Typical OEM modifications include factory-installed mounting hardware or junction boxes, special drive shafts, or wire harnesses.
