Product ReleaseNew Shaded Pole Gearmotors Available With Fail-Safe Disc Brakes Print
 American-made, parallel shaft AC gearmotors available in either open or closed fan-cooled design, with full-load torque from 42 to 113 in-lbs. Many OEM applications require the use of a fail-safe brake, which operates on the power-"off", brake-"on" principal. To fulfill that requirement, the new fractional horsepower parallel shaft VWDIR08 and VWDIR88 gearmotors from Bison Gear & Engineering Corp. represent a safe, long life, value solution with their dependable, unidirectional shaded pole motors. Designed as Von Weise Drop-In Replacements, the Bison VWDIR08 and VWDIR88 gearmotors are available in 14 standard models. With gear ratios from 27:1 to 750:1, fixed output speeds range from 2 to 60 RPM, with output torques from 42 to 113 in-lbs. These Bison drop-in replacements for VW08 and VW88 gearmotors feature UL and CSA recognized 1/10 and 1/20 hp shaded pole motors with clockwise rotation and 115 Volt, 60 Hertz input as standard. The gearmotors are grease lubricated for long life and all-position face or foot mounting with a 150 lb. overhung load rating. In addition, the shaded pole electric motors can be speed controlled with a simple, inexpensive triac drive. "With either open or enclosed fan-cooled construction and foot or face mounting, this is a versatile, excellent value gearmotor design that fits perfectly into such applications as conveyors, automated displays, rotisseries and other restaurant and foodservice equipment," said John Burch, Bison Gear Regional Sales Manager. "By design, shaded pole motors offer the fail-safe feature of starting in only one direction. That feature is further enhanced by the optional fail-safe brake available on the open motor designs. The shaded pole AC motor's running efficiency will increase with load, while also offering relatively constant speed with variations in load. These motors have no internal switches or brushes and are, therefore, ideal for continuous duty application." Manufactured in Bison Gear's St. Charles, Illinois facilities to the highest quality standards to ensure dependable, long-life operation, Bison's new VWDIR08 and VWDIR88 gearmotors are supported by Bison's Innopreneurial(TM) application and design engineering capabilities to customize standard models to meet specific OEM needs. The VWDIR08 and VWDIR88 AC gearmotors are part of the expanding Bison Gear line of Von Weise Drop-In Replacement gearmotors, which encompasses over 75 standard models.

Bison Gear Launches Verdant Duty Gearmotor Video
 Bison Gear & Engineering Corp. is utilizing the Internet to let prospective customers see and hear about the details of its newest line of energy efficient, three-phase AC gearmotors."We began experimenting with video about a year ago posting a few of our 3D gearmotor animations on YouTube, and not really thinking that such engineering-related content would create much interest," said John Morehead, Bison Gear Vice President, Strategic Planning & Marketing. "We were totally surprised to find they're incredibly popular. One of our animations of a parallel shaft PMDC gearmotor has been viewed over 33,000 times. We now have eight videos on the Bison YouTube Channel, ranging from gearmotor animations to our company history and anniversary video, with many more to come." ...More >> Improving Gearmotor Efficiency
By: John Morehead, Bison Gear & Engineering, St. Charles, IL The focus should be placed on improving and replacing more-ubiquitous fractional horsepower devices. With the concerns over the growing energy crisis, the efficiency of electric motors has become an important, timely topic. The reason: electric motors consume from 63% to 70% of the electricity used in domestic manufacturing, and represent 23% of the total electricity consumption in the U.S. However, most motor efficiency efforts to date have focused on only about 10% of the total electric motor population. A unique opportunity exists for OEM machinery designers to contribute to energy conservation efforts by carefully selecting and applying appropriate new electric motors, gearmotors, and drives. Legislating efficiency The 1992 Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA ) have done a lot to legislate new levels of increased motor efficiency. For good reason, these efforts have been primarily directed at integral (greater than one) horsepower electric motors. ...More >> AC Parallel Shaft Gearmotor is Bison Gear's Latest Von Weise Drop-In Replacement
