July 15, 2014 - Bison Gear and Engineering releases DC PowerSTAR, PMDC hypoid right-angle gearmotors with permanent magnet TENV (totally enclosed, non-ventilated) DC motors, dynamically balanced armatures, tang-type diamond turned commentators, high-grade ceramic magnets and oversized replaceable brushes. The motors are built to Class F insulation standards. Each motor series will feature different voltage options to align with specific applications:
- 720 Series - 12, 24, 90, 130 and 180 V
- 725 Series - 12, 24, 90, 130 and 180 V
- 730 Series - 24, 90, 130 and 180 V
The DC PowerSTAR comes equipped with advanced hypoid gearing technology that provides up to 4x the efficiency of a typical worm gearmotor, and mounting configurations for both imperial and metric equipment. The DC motor version is designed to excel in remote (or battery powered) applications and equipment requiring high start-up torque or variable speed control, such as gate operators, pumping stations and food service conveyors.
