Bodine Electric Company 42X3BEPM-E2 Gearmotor

Bodine Electric Company's 42X3BEPM-E2 Gearmotor is a compact, integrated gearmotor designed to deliver low-speed, high-torque output from a 115V power source. The unit is specified at 1/8 HP and draws 1.2 A, with an output speed of 165 RPM after a 15:1 gear reduction. With a 15:1 ratio, the motor input shaft would run at approximately 2,475 RPM at the rated condition to achieve the 165 RPM output, illustrating the typical speed‑to‑torque trade-off inherent to gearmotors. This model is part of Bodine’s BEPM line, reflecting a standardized approach to combining electrical drive and gearing in a single, compact package suitable for OEM equipment and automation tasks where space is at a premium and precise slow actuation is needed. The 42X3BEPM-E2 designation identifies this specific 115V, 1/8HP option with a 165 RPM output within Bodine’s catalog, providing a dependable, drop‑in solution for applications requiring moderate torque at reduced speed.
