Bodine Electric Intros New DC Brushless INTEGRAmotor

Bodine Electric Co. (Chicago, IL) introduced its new INTEGRAmotor, which combines a brushless dc motor and speed control into one compact package. The INTEGRAmotor is designed to reduce wiring and panel space, minimize EMI, and reduce assembly time and cost. Typical applications include office equipment, packaging machines, conveyor systems, medical equipment, graphics machinery, factory automation, etc.

Operating from a regulated 24 Vdc power supply, stock models are available with or without an integral gearbox. Both parallel and in-line gearboxes are offered with outputs ranging from 1.0 rpm to 2,500 rpm. Designed for speed control and light positioning applications, the INTEGRAmotor stock models accept an analog ±5 Vdc input signal for speed control or direction.

Hollow shaft models are also available. An OEM custom built-to-order model is available, consisting of a 24 Vdc brushless dc motor with a built-in, open-loop, voltage-mode PWM controller, accepting PWM input from an external motion or speed controller featuring amplifier enable, along with direction input, dynamic braking, and a built-in 256 PPR, two-channel encoder.
