About BISON GEAR & ENGINEERING

The brand's extensive catalogue includes AC / DC parallel shaft gearmotors, right angle gearmotors, brushless DC motors, PMDC motors, hollow shaft offset gearmotors and washdown gearmotors. PMDC motors from Bison provide high torque requirements at low speeds and are widely used in automobiles, drive blowers for heaters and operating windshield wipers. They are also very useful for machine tool equipment, food mixers and portable vacuum cleaners. The company's AC gearmotors feature a hunting tooth gear design for high-performance and quiet operation. These units are ideal for fuel burners, ice and beverage dispensing equipment, conveyors and more. They are available in single-phase and three-phase power variants, with a maximum rotational frequency of 500 rpm.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Bison MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Dayton model numbers. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Bison products available.

Shipping

These Bison products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, the brand's items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Major Trade Names

BISON GEAR & ENGINEERING Competitive Advantages

VFsync Permanent Magnet AC Motors

These AC motors feature robust motor shafts with large axial ball bearings and an O-ring sealed enclosure for complete protection of internal parts against contamination. They provide greater mounting versatility within tight footprints and require a variable frequency drive for running permanent magnet synchronous three-phase AC motors, ideal for industrial machinery, conveying and packaging applications. They are available in worm or high-efficiency hypoid gearing types for precise speed control with quieter operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the use of DC gearmotors?

DC gear motors offer adjustable speed controls in power winches, windshield wiper motors and power window motors, jacks, cranes and lifts. These units allow small motors to generate very high speeds for smooth and quick operation.

What is the advantage of IP69K rating in gearmotors?

The IP69K rating offers resistance against the ingress of dust and high temperature, high-pressure water and chemicals, making them ideal for use with highly critical and sanitised equipment.

What are brushless DC motors?

These types of synchronous motors use a direct current (DC) electric power supply for controlling the speed and torque of the motor. They provide high efficiency, high power-to-weight ratio and low maintenance. They are ideal for motion control, servomotors, extruder drive motors and feed drives for CNC machine tools.
