 Variable Speed Motors

Inverter or vector duty motor designed for use in constant torque speed control applications found on conveyors, material handling, pumps, and fans. Models feature varying speed ranges including 4:1, 10:1, 1000:1, and 2000:1 and offer encoders or encoder provisions.
 
 

LEESON Gearmotors

LEESON® Parallel Shaft AC and DC Gearmotors
 
Parallel shaft gearmotors are available from stock in both AC and DC designs. All parallel shaft gearmotors are designed for reliability and long life. Models ranging from 10 through 1100 inch-pounds are available off-the-shelf from one of our warehouses.
 
All parallel shaft gearmotors are interchangeable with major brands of gearmotors.
 
LEESON® right-angle gearmotors are rugged and adaptable to meet the needs of industrial applications.
 
 
Leeson DC P300
Designed For Heavy-Duty Service
 
An industrial strength gearing and motor package, designed for reliability and long-life in the toughest applications.
 
Dependable - DC SCR motors are rated for continuous duty over a 60:1 speed range at constant torque on unfiltered, DC full-wave SCR input. Single phase AC motors are permanent split capacitor type(P240 and AC right-angle gearmotors) or capacitor start(P1100). Three phase P1100, PE350 and inverter duty gearmotors are available from stock; other three phase gearmotor models are available from production. All motors are continuous duty rated with machined fits and ball bearings for demanding industrial and commercial applications.
 
Pressure - cast aluminum gearboxes - Machined and integrally fitted to the motor. Precision gearing results in minimum noise, maximum load carrying capability. Parallel shaft models combine strength of bronze worm wheels with steel worm shafts.
 
Oversized brushes on DC motors - Longer life between maintenance cycles and easily accessible via brush covers on sides of motor.
 
Hardened Steel Output Shafts - With keyway, or with keyway flat, for installation ease.
 
Reversible Output Shaft On Right-Angle Gearmotors - Easily field convertible from left-hand standard to right-hand output for mounting flexibility.
