Motion Products: Stationary or Battery-Powered DC Gearmotors

    Nov. 7, 2008
    The fractional-horsepower VWDIR83 gearmotors perform as drop-in replacements for the Von Weise VW83 Series of stationary and portable low-voltage motors.

    Six models each cover 12 and 90-Vdc inputs. The motors come with gear ratios from 32:1 to 430:1 and fixed output speeds from 6 to 93 rpm. Output torque ranges from 13 to 50 lb-in. All motors are 1/30-hp permanent-magnet dc with replaceable brushes, grease lubrication, and all-position face mounting with a 50-lb overhung load rating.
