Highly efficient inverter duty gearmotors
Designed for use with adjustable speed controls, a line of inverter duty gearmotors is rated at 3/8 horsepower, 230 volts, and 60 Hertz with three phases. The gearmotor's operating range is 10 to 90 Hertz while its torque is up to 350 inch-pounds depending on style and shaft speed. Available gear ratios range from 5:1 to 75:1 and from 5:1 to 30:1 for right angle and parallel shaft configurations respectively. An induction hardened ground steel worm and bronze gear on all right angle styles provides smooth operation and increased efficiency. For parallel units, the induction-hardened all-steel helical gears increase load capacity.
