Video: How to Connect a PMDC Gearmotor to a Filtered PWM DC Speed Control

In this new How-To video, we are demonstrating how to connect a 130VDC, two-wire PMDC gearmotor to a Bodine WPM PMDC motor speed control powered from a 115VAC/60Hz/1-phase line. In this example, we used a Bodine stock model 6071, type 33A-HG/H, 130VDC hollow shaft gearmotor, powered by a 0-130VDC (out), type WPM Speed control item

What Does IP-69K Mean for Stainless Steel Gearmotors?

What Does IP-69K Mean for Stainless Steel Gearmotors?

Gearmotors rated for IP-69K are typically designed to operate in wet, dusty, washdown environments, or where equipment is subject to particularly intensive high-pressure cleaning such as in food or pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. This new Tech Note explains what IP-69K means for your geared motor application, as well as how to mount and wire one of

How to Connect a Run Capacitor to a AC 4-Wire-Reversible PSC Gearmotor or Motor

How to Connect a Run Capacitor to a AC 4-Wire-Reversible PSC Gearmotor or Motor

In this How-To video, we show you how to wire and connect one of our AC single-phase, 4-wire-reversible, permanent split capacitor (fixed speed) gearmotors with its run capacitor and a power cord. PSC gearmotors or motors require a run capacitor to be connected to the winding at all times. To enclose the capacitor or to

Introduction to Motor Constants for Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors

Introduction to Motor Constants for Fractional Horsepower Gearmotors

Motor constants are needed to calculate permanent magnet DC (PMDC) or brushless DC (BLDC or EC) motor specifications and ratings, or to match the motor properly to an amplifier. The motor constants are required in order to predict the PMDC or BLDC motor’s performance with changing variables, such as different input voltages or different loads. (See below PDF
