The post What Does IP-69K Mean for Stainless Steel Gearmotors? appeared first on Bodine - Gearmotor Blog.

Our new stainless steel AC right-angle gearmotors are ideal for machines and systems that are subject to intensive cleaning and daily washdowns. Regardless of whether the gearmotors are used for material handling, intralogistics, packaging, or clean room applications, their hygienic properties, long operating life and low maintenance make them particularly well suited to production conditions in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, and in permanently wet environments. This product also meets EU Hygienic standard for food machinery.

• Large water tight terminal box in 12 o’clock position for easy access.
• 230/460VAC, 1/2 HP inverter-duty, 3-phase winding
• Torque range: from 158 to 638 lb-in
• Speed range: form 29 to 176 rpm
• Food grade lubricant

Typical applications include conveyor systems, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery and applications where hygiene and cleanliness are critical.

Each competitor part number is constructed differently:

For example, if you are crossing a Baldor item, the part number will look something like this GCP24004, please do not add any additional spaces, dashes, or any type of alphanumeric characters to the search box as this will not bring up the correct information.

Bison part number, e.g. 011-190-0271,  please enter the P/N with dashes just like this and the results will appear for you. 

Leeson part number, e.g. M1145039.00, please enter it like this, do not include any spaces, dashes, or additional alphanumeric information.

When you perform a cross-reference search for a Baldor, Bison or Leeson stock product, here are the possible search results: (a) Bodine drop-in, (b) we offer an “almost” drop in, with differences explained; (c) no drop in, no Bodine alternative, call our CS team, (d) no search result, not in our database, please call us.

If we do not offer a “drop-in”, but the item is in our competitor database, then we explain the differences so you can compare the specs with our closest stock model. If no cross-reference is available, please reach out to us directly and call us at: 773-478-3515 (USA) and ask for an application engineer, or send your email request to: info@bodine-electric.com.

The post Bodine Launches Competitor Cross-Reference Tool for Baldor, Bison, or Leeson Gearmotor Replacements appeared first on Bodine - Gearmotor Blog.

With this new Tech Note from our engineering team, you’ll learn how operating a gearmotor or motor above or below the ratings shown on its product nameplate can affect performance. For standard gearmotors, the torque rating shown on the product nameplate (or in the manufacturer’s sales literature) represents a complete gearmotor rating and reflects the capacity of the limiting gearmotor design elements. Some of the design limitations considered are: motor input power, strength or wear rating of the gearing. Click here for the full article.

After a successful product life of over 30 years, it is time for our “high-voltage” 115VAC-input ABL brushless DC motor speed controls to retire. 

This notice is to inform you that we are obsoleting these controls after 30+ years of service. Based on current parts availability, we can supply the control boards for another two years, with last-time-buy shipments on or before July 2024. Please plan your product orders, usage and last-time-buy quantities accordingly. Once the 2-year phase-out time frame has passed, Bodine will not be offering a replacement product for these five (5) ABL stock controls with 115VAC input.

Affected stock models: 3910, 3911, 3912, 3913, and 3921.

If your application requires a variable speed, maintenance-free gearmotor/motor, powered by either 115VAC or 230VAC, then one of our inverter-duty gearmotors and speed control system might be a great alternative. Our application engineering team will be happy to assist you with crossing any Bodine 130VDC brushless DC gearmotor or motor drive system to a similar-performance Bodine AC inverter-duty (3-phase) gearmotor/motor and speed control system.

Please send your product cross-over request to: info@bodine-electric.com.
