New universal gearmotor operates on 115V AC, 60 or 50 Hz, or 115V DC

(17/10/2008)

Bison Gear & Engineering Corp has introduced a new VWDIR03 right angle fractional horsepower gearmotors designed as Von Weise Drop-In Replacements to meet the needs of a wide variety of established OEMs. The Bison VWDIR03 is available in 13 standard models, with output speeds from 4.5 to 100 RPM and torques from 27 to 250 in-lbs.

With applications ranging from exercise equipment to conveyors, the VWDIR03 gearmotors are driven by a versatile universal motor that can be run from 115V AC or DC and which can be inexpensively speed controlled with a rheostat or a simple "light dimmer" triac electronic control.

Versatility is further enhanced through the choice of left, right or double output shaft configurations, all position mounting, and the 1/15 hp motor rotation is reversible. Manufactured in Bison's U.S.A. facilities, Bison's new VWDIR03 gearmotors are available with U.L. and CSA recognition and are supported by Bison's engineering support to customize standard models to meet specific OEM needs.

The VWDIR03 is part of the growing Bison line of Von Weise Drop-In Replacement gearmotors, which encompasses over 75 standard models.
