High-torque Gearhead

Bodine Electric Company introduces its WX high-torque gearhead in conjunction with a 3-wire-reversible 34R frame AC induction motor. These new gearmotors are designed to drive applications such as conveyor systems, packaging equipment, metering devices and commercial appliances. They feature all-new steel helical gears and a synthetic lubricant, allowing the WX to provide up to 50% more torque and enabling operation over a wide temperature range. The gear ratios range from 4:1 to 312:1. The WX gearhead is the first gearhead to be paired with Bodine’s new 3-wire reversible 34R, single phase, 1/7 HP motor winding.
