BISON AC
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BISON AC from 3G Electric.
What are the input power and speed ranges available for BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors?
BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors are available with input power ratings from 0.125 hp to 0.5 hp. Output speeds range from 16.8 RPM to 80 RPM, depending on the gear ratio and motor type. For example, model 027-720G0100 delivers 16.8 RPM with 365 in-lb maximum torque from a 230V AC 3-phase input, while model 027-730K0020T provides 80 RPM with 0.5 hp input. These ranges allow selection for various torque and speed requirements in industrial drive applications.
What does the hollow shaft design of BISON AC right angle gearmotors offer for mounting?
The hollow shaft design allows the gearmotor to be mounted directly onto the driven shaft, eliminating the need for a coupling and reducing alignment issues. This is particularly beneficial in space-constrained installations where a right-angle configuration is required. The hollow shaft transmits torque through a keyed or shrink-disc connection, depending on the model. This design is common in conveyor and material handling applications where the gearmotor is mounted on the head shaft or drive shaft.
Are BISON AC gearmotors available with single-phase or three-phase input?
BISON AC gearmotors are available with both 3-phase and PSC (permanent split capacitor) single-phase input options. For example, model 026-720A0060 is a PSC unit rated at 0.125 hp, 28 RPM, and 220 in-lb maximum torque, drawing 1.85 A. Three-phase models include 027-730K0020T, 027-720G0100, 027-725G0050F, 027-725G0040, 027-725G0030, and 027-725G0060F. The choice depends on the available power supply and the required starting torque characteristics.
What enclosure type do BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors use?
BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors are supplied with totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosures. TEFC construction prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the motor housing while allowing heat dissipation through an external fan. This makes them suitable for continuous-duty industrial environments where exposure to contaminants is a concern. The TEFC design is standard across the models listed, including those with 3-phase and PSC input.
Can 3G Electric provide BISON AC gearmotors with specific voltage and frequency requirements?
3G Electric supplies BISON AC gearmotors in various voltage and frequency configurations as specified by the manufacturer. For example, model 027-720G0100 operates on 230V AC, while models 027-725G0050F and 027-725G0060F draw 0.9 A at 90 Hz. Other models may have different ratings. When requesting a quote, provide the required voltage, frequency, and phase to ensure the correct part number is selected. 3G Electric can cross-reference existing BISON AC part numbers or assist with selection based on application parameters.
