Bison's new 107 series Verdant Duty gearmotors are rated at 1/20 horsepower (37.3 watt) at 230 volt, 60 Hz, 3-phase.
The gearmotors feature an operating range from 6 to 90 Hz to provide a 15:1 range of adjustable output speeds in applications requiring no maintenance.
Available in 5 standard off-the-shelf models from Bison's distribution partners, the gearmotors feature totally enclosed, non-ventilated (TENV) AC motors constructed with special insulation systems to ensure long life when driven by compact, economic frequency inverters that convert conventional AC single phase to three phase power.
Employing integral gear reducers with gear ratios from 6.7:1 to 95.5:1 they offer output speeds from 368 to 1.7 RPM with output torques up to 100 in-lbs. (11.3 N-m).

Why Video?
"We began experimenting with video about a year ago posting a few of our 3D gearmotor animations on YouTube, and not really thinking that such engineering-related content would create much interest," says John Morehead, Bison Gear Vice President, Strategic Planning & Marketing.
"We were totally surprised to find they're incredibly popular. One of our animations of a parallel shaft PMDC gearmotor has been viewed over 33,000 times. We now have eight videos on the Bison YouTube Channel, ranging from gearmotor animations to our company history and anniversary video, with many more to come."
