April 21, 2009

The Von Weise (VWDIR 14) drop-in replacement ac gearmotors deliver up to 50 lb-in. (5.65 N-m) output torque from most global ac power sources. The singlephase, dual-voltage, dual-frequency gearmotors use /-hp (37.3-W) ac motors which can be operated from either 115 or 230 V, 60 or 50-Hz power sources. Six standard, off-the-shelf models are available. The unit’s 10:1 to 494:1 gear ratios have corresponding output speeds from 181 to 4 rpm. The totally enclosed nonventilated (TENV) permanent-split-capacitor motors and integral gear reducers are reversible and feature all-position face mounting with a 50-lb overhung load capability.
