10 Things Everyone Ought to Know About Custom Gearmotors

From Bison Gear and Engineering
 

 

A custom gearmotor is one that meets your particular application specifications. It has the correct mechanical and electrical interfaces, fits within the envelope available, meets your performance, maintenance, lifetime and aftermarket criteria while it also fits within your budget. There are many questions and considerations involved in specifying the correct gearmotor for your application. They run the gamut from AC or DC, single or three phase, PSC or split phase, PMDC or BLDC, TEFC or TENV, cord or flying leads, parallel shaft or right angle, stub or hollow shaft, keyed or splined, grease or oil lubrication, face or foot mount, just to mention a few!

Products & Services
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gearmotors
AC servomotors are responsive, high-acceleration motors typically constructed as permanent magnet synchronous motors. Search by Specification | Learn more about AC Servomotors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.   Search by Specification | Learn more about AC Motors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors. Search by Specification | Learn more about DC Motors
Gearboxes and gearheads are speed reducers that consist of a set of gears, shafts, and bearings in an enclosed housing. In converting inputs to outputs, they reduce RPM and increase torque. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gearboxes and Gearheads
