February 05, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Oriental Motor USA Corp. (Torrance, CA) announced its new BH Series of high-power ac induction motors with right-angle gearhead and electromagnetic brake configurations. The right-angle gearhead configurations are available in 10 gear ratios ranging from 6:1 to 180:1. The RA right-angle gearheads provide a solid output shaft while the RH right-angle gearheads provide a hollow output shaft. The right-angle gearmotor running torque ranges from 46lb-in at 300rpm (6:1 ratio) to 531lb-in at 10rpm (180:1 ratio). The gearmotor size is 4.09in-sq x 12.36in long.

The BH Series is also available with an electromagnetic brake, including round-shaft motors, parallel-shaft gearmotors, and RA and RH right-angle gearmotors. The brake adds 2.36in to the overall package length. The brake is a power-off activated type and offers a holding torque of 13.3lb-in.

The BH Series is available with either a cable or terminal box connection in single-phase 110Vac to 115Vac or 220Vac to 230Vac. The three-phase 200Vac to 230Vac models are terminal box connections only. The BH Series cable connection motors possess a built-in thermal protector to prevent motor overheating. The BH Series ac motor meets safety standards for UL and CSA, as well as the CE low-voltage directive.
