Gearmotors: continued integration, end-user demands drive gearmotor advances
Miles Budimir Senior Editor Gearmotors, a well-established technology, are motors designed with an integrated gear reducer. Gearmotors are most common in applications that need a lot of force to move heavy objects. Most industrial gearmotors incorporate fixed-speed ac motors. However, some gearmotors use dc motors, which are common in automotive applications. Gearmotors continue to improve. In […]
Rugged drive controls speed on ac motors to one horsepower
A new variable-speed ac motor speed control is simple to setup and operate. The rugged drive — Model 2999 Pacesetter AC speed control from Bodine Electric Co. — also features a NEMA-4X / IP-65 enclosure. It’s suitable for stand-alone ac-gearmotor applications that need controlled acceleration, adjustable operating speed, or reversing. Typical applications include conveyor systems, packaging machines, food-processing equipment, medical or lab equipment […]
5 design considerations for gearmotor applications
Edited by Mary C. Gannon, Senior Editor • To select the best gearmotor for an application, it is important to go into more detail than just selecting the best suitable output speed and torque. Here are five criteria you should consider. While output speed and torque are are clearly important when selecting and designing with […]
