Bodine Electric Company

201 Northfield Road

Bodine Electric Company is one of the leading North American suppliers of fractional horsepower (FHP) gearmotors, motors and speed controls. Our wide selection of standard right-angle and parallel shaft standard gearmotors are available as variable speed and fixed speed AC, brushless DC, and permanent magnet DC products. Our certified to ISO 9001 quality management system insures that all our gearmotors are built to last.

We manufacture gearmotors suited for a range of demanding industrial and commercial applications. Our new hollow-shaft AC wash-down stainless steel models are rated IP-69K, making them ideal for food and beverage production, pharmaceutical machinery and equipment that is used in permanently wet environments. Our Class I, Division 1 and 2 rated gearmotors meet or exceed the NEC guidelines for use in hazardous locations. And our high-torque, high-efficiency hypoid gearmotors are designed for applications that require compact size, lower energy consumption and cool operation.

From the maintenance-free performance of variable-speed AC 3-phase, inverter duty gearmotors, the high starting torque of a PMDC geared motor, to a combination of both with our brushless DC products, we supply rugged, high-performance gearmotor solutions to many leading OEMs. Bodine products can be found in applications as diverse as medical devices, scientific and laboratory equipment, labeling equipment, printing presses, packaging equipment, factory automation (conveyors, AGV/AMRs), and chemical pumps for the oil & gas industry.
