Bodine Electric Company 30R2BECI-D3 Gearmotor

The Bodine Electric 30R2BECI-D3 gearmotor is a 1/30‑hp, 115‑V AC, 60‑Hz parallel‑shaft gearmotor in Bodine’s 30R‑D series. It is Totally Enclosed, Non‑Ventilated (IP‑20) with a Class B insulation system, and uses aluminum end shields for lightweight, thermally efficient support while the gearhead is unvented to permit horizontal mounting. Inside, the gearing employs a reinforced thermoplastic primary gear with hardened steel spur gears in subsequent stages, and a helical pinion cut on the motor shaft to improve strength and reduce noise; needle bearings throughout contribute to long life and smooth operation. A run capacitor is required for proper operation, specified as 5.0 MFD at 250 V (Bodine part 49401015). All components are designed for durability and low maintenance, delivering compact, reliable speed reduction and torque in small machinery where a robust, enclosed drive is advantageous.
