Bodine KCI-23A2 Gear Motor

Bodine KCI-23A2 Gear Motor is a compact, single‑phase AC gearmotor from Bodine Electric’s K‑2 series, built for low‑speed, high‑torque drives in small equipment. It is rated at 1/450 horsepower and 115 V, 60 Hz, and runs on 1‑phase power with capacitor‑start operation (variant 494 00046) or permanent‑split capacitor (PSC) normal slip, non‑synchronous configuration. The model is documented in multiple gear ratios; common configurations include 18:1 and 30:1, corresponding to output speeds of roughly 86 rpm and 52 rpm respectively. The 18:1 configuration provides about 21 oz‑in of output torque, enabling steady, controlled rotation at low speeds. With its parallel‑shaft design and 115 V electrical specification, the KCI‑23A2 is suited for integration into compact drive trains where space is at a premium and precise, slow output is required.
