High-efficiency right angle gearmotor
Fourth Quarter 2022
Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Bison Gear & Engineering, a leader in the power transmission industry, announced that its proven PowerSTAR high-efficiency right angle gearmotor is celebrating ten years of industry-leading product excellence.
Featuring, advanced hypoid gearing technology for improved energy efficiency over traditional right angle worm gearmotors, PowerSTAR offers maximum power density in a compact profile that does not compromise performance. Its sleek design offers easy mounting in several orientations, ground gearing for low noise, and a variety of frame sizes to fit numerous design specifications.
Ground gearing provides whisper-quiet operation and low backlash precision, while larger diameter pinions offer more surface area contact. With multiple tooth contact that handles larger loads at better efficiency, PowerSTAR offset gears transmit higher torque output in a smaller profile, along with high energy efficiency sustained throughout all standard gear ratios.
Bison Gear and Engineering began in 1960 by designing problem-solving gearboxes and gear motors for its customers. Today, the company has grown into an industry leader for fractional and low integral horsepower electric motor, gearmotor and gear reducer products by implementing innovative lean manufacturing processes, world-class engineering, and customer support teams, driven by its Robusticity design philosophy. This allows Bison to consistently expand its product line with new motion control and power transmission solutions.
