The WX gearhead is now available with two 33A permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors.

The WX gearhead is now available with two 33A permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors. The WX is a high-torque gearhead that promises longer life and higher performance than similar gearmotors in the same size range. WX gearmotors feature all-steel gear trains and synthetic lubricants, enabling up to 65% more torque than previous models. The steel gearing meets or exceeds AGMA 9 standards and synthetic lubricant improves efficiency, allowing the gearmotors to operate over a wide temperature range. Accessories include a bolt-on adaptor to convert the gearhead to a three-point mounting pattern as well as an L-bracket for flexible mounting and a IP-44 protection kit. Forty-eight stock models feature 12 available gear ratios ranging from 4:1 to 312:1 and output speeds from 658 to 2.9 rpm. BODINE ELECTRIC CO., Chicago, IL. (800) 726-3463.
