In celebration of Bodine Electric Company’s 100th anniversary, the company has announced a contest designed to find the oldest Bodine motor or gearmotor. There are three ways to win: 1) $1,000 for the oldest Bodine product still doing its job; 2) $1,000 for the oldest Bodine product period–running or not, or; 3) $1,000 for the most unusual or unique use of a Bodine motor. The winner will also receive an additional $1,000 donated to their favorite charity. Contestants can register at Bodine’s Web site [www.bodine-electric.com/oldmotor]. The contest will end June 30, 2005.

"The theme of the contest emphasizes the philosophy shared by the Bodine brothers nearly one century ago–to produce superior-quality products to make machines work optimally, and for the longest possible time," says John Morehead, Bodine’s VP of sales & marketing.

From supplying a dentist with a specially designed motor for an electric tooth drill in 1905, the company has provided motors for such diverse applications as movie cameras and projectors, phonographs, jukeboxes, scientific instruments, office equipment, WWII aircraft fuel pumps, photocopiers, medical scanners, printing presses, factory automation, food service equipment, and many other applications.

Bodine Electric Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary of manufacturing fractional horsepower electric motors in 2005. Still family owned, Bodine is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and offers more than 850 stock motors and gearmotors worldwide, including AC, DC, and Brushless DC. Each motor is complemented by system-matched Bodine motion controls. Bodine also offers built-to-order products with engineering support for concurrent product development. All items are available from a strategically located network of Bodine MotionPRO sales reps and authorized distributors worldwide.
