Product Details
The DC gearmotor features a parallel shaft design with a power rating of 1/4 HP, operating at 500 RPM and a gear ratio of 5 to 1. It has an overhung load capacity of 194 pounds and delivers a full load torque of 25 lb. in. The motor is equipped with a totally-enclosed non-ventilated (TENV) enclosure, a 32 frame, and operates on 90V with a nameplate current of 2.6 amps. The gearbox output shafts are coated with Mirolon 3300 fortified Teflon, ensuring superior corrosion resistance, while the frame, end shields, armature, and interior components are treated with enamel and polyester compounds for protection against moisture, acids, alkalies, and oil. It includes a cast conduit box with threaded conduit holes and nitrile gaskets to prevent water ingress, and the cover is made from 304 stainless steel. A one-way stainless steel vapor vent is incorporated to manage condensation within the motor. All hardware is made of stainless steel, and the motor is finished with white epoxy for enhanced corrosion resistance. Gaskets seal the machined fits between the endbells and motor frame, and the thru-bolt heads and nuts are secured with fiber washers. Each threaded brush cover is fitted with O-rings. The precision machined in-line steel gears consist of a first-stage steel helical gear followed by spur-type gears, lubricated with permanent semi-fluid grease to minimize leakage risks. Output shafts are supported by needle bearings for high load capacities. This DC permanent magnet gearmotor is rated for continuous duty and is classified as a Washguard motor, designed to endure regular washdown or wet conditions, effectively retarding water entry and preserving the motor's integrity against rust and corrosion. It is engineered for versatile mounting configurations, although mounting with the shaft up and the motor below should be avoided to prevent lubricant leakage. The motor’s stall torque exceeds the recommended full load torques for the gearboxes, and it includes a current limiting device for added safety.
