Actually Bodine was trying to help and looked into whatever information they had but were unable to give me a definitive answer. They went out of their way as far as I'm concerned and didn't simply sluff me off. Also gave me another contact who hasn't responded so not sure if this crisis has...
Not curiousity at all, complete funtion needed here. I'm installing this on a modified bead roller for metal shaping and auto body forming. The amount of reverse direction will be very minimum. I plan to add an extra gear shaft to bring the rpm's down to a crawl which is necessary for what I...
Please accept that electrical isn't my strong point( why aerospace piggybacked my username I have no idea? Big fingers?) but couldn't I simply add a reversable switch like the ones sold at Harbor Freight or Princess auto Brian?
That I dont know. I thought most of the side shafts are worm gears but not sure on this one. I suspect its splined gears that mesh together? But not sure really. If thats the right term?
Yes, contacted Bodine but they didn't have a wiring schematic because of its age? Any way to know if it is in fact reversible? I would have thought "CCW" or "Reversible" would have been the likely addition under remarks but not exactly sure what "CC" means? Any way to tell?
This is probably a simple question to answer if this is your specialty but not my area of expertise. Got a 1/2hp early 80's Bodine 1 phase fractional hp parallel gearmotor and want to know if it can be wired to accept a reverse switch for the occasional use in reverse. The gear turns at 157rpm...
