Bodine Electric Company introduces 20 new type 33A-HG/H parallel shaft offset gearmotors. These new gearmotors combine Bodine’s high-performance type 33A7 permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor with their new hollow shaft type HG/H gearhead. The type 33A motor delivers high starting torque, adjustable speed, and predictable performance under a range of operating conditions. The new offset parallel shaft HG/H gearhead provides flexible hollow shaft mounting and high torque in a small package. Typical applications include conveyor systems, patient mobility applications, food processing equipment, and factory automation.

Designed as a space-saving drive solution, the Bodine type HG/H hollow shaft gearhead is shorter in length but taller than comparable parallel shaft gearheads. The offset design allows the gearmotors to deliver high torque for their size through a range of gear ratios. The large center distance between the gearbox and the motor enables these units to be fitted with dual drive shafts. The HG/H gearhead also features large hardened helical and spur gears and needle bearings to ensure quiet, long-lasting operation.

Bodine’s HG/H hollow shaft geared motors optimize mounting space, simplify installation, and reduce the number of component parts. They can be directly connected to the driven load eliminating expensive shaft couplings and mounting hardware that can be unsafe, bulky, and present alignment issues. These hollow shaft gearmotors offer left- or right-hand face mounts for maximum application flexibility.

The initial product launch includes 20 standard gearmotor models with gear ratios from 27:1 to 108:1 with speeds from 12 to 93 rpm. Rated torque ranges from 120 lb-in (14 Nm) to 702 lb-in (79 Nm). Bodine type 33A7-HG/H gearmotors are available with five winding options: 12V, 24V, 90V & 180V (SCR Rated), and 130VDC.

Bodine offers several terminal boxes that provide IP-44 protection for the type 33A7-HG/H gearmotors. Alternatively, they also offer a IP-44 boot kit for 33A motors, model 0977. In addition, they offer single-extension and double-extension, 3/4-inch (0.75”) stainless steel shaft kits, and a shaft cover kit for the non-shaft extension side. The model 0964 encoder shaft kit allows the user to easily mount several readily available third-party encoder options to these new gearmotors.

Bodine’s new type 33A-HG/H gearmotors and accessories are available through Bodine’s extensive distributor network or from the Bodine website. Custom options are available to qualified OEMs. Typical OEM modifications include custom windings, application-specific mounting options, or special drive shaft kits.
