24A4BEPM Bodine Electric Permanent Magnet DC Motor

The Bodine Electric N-Line Gearmotors have consistent performance, long life, and reliability. Since 1905 Bodine motors, gearmotors, and controls have been used in assembly equipment, conveyers, packaging equipment, copiers, lab instruments, photographic processors, medical and other scientific apparatus; wherever component size, weight, reliability and integrity are prime considerations.

When choosing a motor or gearmotor, it is important that the maximum radial and axial loads for the motor or gearmotor be considered. Simplified allowable radial load information is provided for the motors and gearmotors. The following engineering assumptions are made:

1) That the radial load is in the most disadvantageous radial direction with respect to the shaft axis.
2) That the motor or gearmotor is delivering maximumrated torque.
3) That the radial load is a specified distance from either the hub (seal face) or mounting surface of the unit (Permissible radial load on the output shaft wiII increase if the radial load is closer to the drive unit, and decrease if further out on the shaft).
4) That a chain and sprocket is employed to transmit torque from the unit to the driven device.

The preferred mounting position for each motor and gearmotor is horizontal. Gearmotor mountings, other that what is specified by the manufacturer, are not recommended on some gearmotors due to (a) the possibility of gearhead lubricant leakage into the motor portion, (b) possible leakage from gearhead breather and oil level holes, and (c) insufficient lubrication. By making the proper adjustments (normally done at the factory), mountings other than the preferred positions of gearmotors are possible.
