Bodine Electric Company (USA/UK) Announces New 34R-WX, 1/7HP AC gearmotor

Bodine Electric Company is pleased to introduce the new WX gearhead in conjunction with a new 3-wire-reversible 34R frame (100 mm), 1/7HP, single phase AC induction motor. The 34R-WX delivers up to 50% more torque than previous models, it is designed to provide longer life and higher performance than other gearmotors in the same size package.

Gearmotor features include:

-High-performance, single phase 4-inch diameter (100 mm), 1/7 HP (107 Watts) motors
-Rugged, all steel helical gears meet or exceed AGMA-9 standards for longest life, and quiet operation.
-Synthetic lubrication allows these gearheads to operate over a wide temperature range.
-Can be configured to 3-hole mounting pattern via a simple bolt-on adaptor (Bodine model 0995).
-12 new gear ratios available with this new 3-wire reversible, fixed speed, AC motor. Gear ratios range from 4:1 to 312:1.
-Coming soon — the WX will also be available with Bodine Electric’s line of variable speed, permanent magnet DC (PMDC) and brushless DC (BLDC) motors.

These new stock models can also be configured to feature a 3-hole mounting pattern via a simple bolt-on adaptor plate (Bodine model 0995). The WX gearhead is the first gearhead to be paired with Bodine’s new 3-wire reversible 34R, permanent split capacitor, motor winding. The three-wire configuration simplifies connection, and makes reversing the motor’s direction simply a matter of switching the position of two leads. This new winding can also operate at 50 Hz by utilizing a different value run capacitor. A new 230VAC, 50/60Hz, 1-phase, 3-wire reversible winding is also available for custom configurations. WX models are designed to drive a variety of applications, including conveyor systems, packaging equipment, medical devices, metering pumps, and commercial appliances.
