Product catalog summary
Introduction
Bodine Electric Company provides gearmotor solutions specifically designed for packaging and conveyor applications. Their products are engineered to meet the demanding performance requirements of the packaging industry, where minimizing downtime is crucial.

Product Options
  • Fractional HP Gearmotors: Available in variable and fixed speed AC models, these gearmotors offer highly efficient and long-lasting performance with no maintenance required. They include dual-voltage models and permanent split capacitor options.
  • Permanent Magnet DC Gearmotors: These provide variable speed and easy installation, featuring high starting torque and predictable linear speed torque performance. They can replace obsolete gearmotors and motors from North American manufacturers.
  • Brushless DC (EC) Gearmotors: Known for quiet operation and zero maintenance, these gearmotors are available with 24 or 130VDC windings and are "accessory ready" for easy installation of optical encoders.
  • Hollow Shaft Gearmotors: Designed to eliminate sprockets, couplings, and drive chains, these gearmotors offer versatile mounting options and are easier to maintain than regular right-angle gearmotors.

Application Examples
  • Automated Bag Sealer: By using Bodine's AC synchronous gearmotors, a packaging equipment OEM simplified their design by eliminating mechanical linkages between conveyors, using a single AC speed control to sync both gearmotors.
  • Case Sealer: Utilizes Bodine type 42R-FX parallel shaft gearmotors to drive conveyors that seal cardboard boxes with tape.
  • Foam-in-Bag Packaging Equipment: Driven by a Bodine INTEGRAmotor brushless DC gearmotor, these systems create molded cushions for product protection during shipping.

Conclusion
Bodine Electric offers over 1,400 standard products and unlimited custom design solutions, with gear ratios ranging from 4:1 to 3600:1 and torque up to 1535 lb-in. Their gearmotors are integral to driving the packaging industry, providing reliable and efficient solutions for various applications.

A manufacturer of an automated bag sealer required that two conveyors within the same machine operate at synchronous speeds. • Each conveyor is driven by a synchronous AC inverter duty gearmotor • One AC speed control (VFD) was used to precisely sync both gearmotors • This design upgrade allowed for the elimination of mechanical linkages (chains and sprockets) between the two conveyors APPLICATION EXAMPLES Continuous band polybag sealers can seal almost any thermoplastic material, including polypropylene, polyethylene and foil laminates. These machines typically have two driven conveyors: the...

FHP Gearmotors Drive the Packaging Industry Case Sealer Case sealers are packaging machines that drive an open card board box between two vertical conveyors while tape is wrapped around the box to close it. The model shown uses two Bodine type 42R-FX (AC) parallel shaft gearmotors to drive the conveyors. Foam-in-Bag Packaging Equipment Foam-in-bag molding systems create molded cushions for products that require a consistent, precise fit and product protection during the shipping and handling process. The machine shown is driven by a Bodine INTEGRAmotor brushless DC (EC) gearmotor with built-in...
