BISON AC

BISON AC is a brand of AC gearmotors and speed reducers manufactured by Bison Gear & Engineering, a company founded in 1960 and headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, USA. Bison Gear & Engineering designs and produces fractional and sub-fractional horsepower gearmotors, motors, and reducers for industrial applications. The BISON AC line includes right-angle and parallel-shaft AC gearmotors, with a focus on hollow-shaft and solid-shaft configurations. These units are commonly used in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, and other industrial drive applications where compact size and reliable torque transmission are required. 3G Electric supplies BISON AC hollow shaft right angle AC gearmotors globally. The product range includes 3-phase and PSC (permanent split capacitor) input options, with output speeds from 16.8 RPM to 80 RPM and maximum torque ratings from 180 in-lb to 365 in-lb. Input power ratings span 0.125 hp to 0.5 hp. Enclosures are totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC), suitable for continuous-duty industrial environments. The hollow shaft design allows direct mounting on driven shafts, reducing the need for couplings and saving space in constrained installations. Right-angle configuration enables power transmission at 90 degrees, which is useful in applications where the motor must be positioned perpendicular to the driven shaft. BISON AC gearmotors are available in various gear ratios and motor types to match specific speed and torque requirements. 3G Electric maintains inventory of multiple SKUs, including models such as 027-730K0020T, 027-720G0100, 026-720A0060, 027-725G0050F, 027-725G0040, 027-725G0030, and 027-725G0060F. These units are specified with details such as voltage, current draw, frequency, and frame size. 3G Electric provides global logistics support, technical documentation, and quotation services for BISON AC gearmotors. The company serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require specific part numbers and verifiable specifications. For assistance with selection or cross-referencing, contact 3G Electric with your application requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BISON AC from 3G Electric.

What are the input power and speed ranges available for BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors?

BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors are available with input power ratings from 0.125 hp to 0.5 hp. Output speeds range from 16.8 RPM to 80 RPM, depending on the gear ratio and motor type. For example, model 027-720G0100 delivers 16.8 RPM with 365 in-lb maximum torque from a 230V AC 3-phase input, while model 027-730K0020T provides 80 RPM with 0.5 hp input. These ranges allow selection for various torque and speed requirements in industrial drive applications.

What does the hollow shaft design of BISON AC right angle gearmotors offer for mounting?

The hollow shaft design allows the gearmotor to be mounted directly onto the driven shaft, eliminating the need for a coupling and reducing alignment issues. This is particularly beneficial in space-constrained installations where a right-angle configuration is required. The hollow shaft transmits torque through a keyed or shrink-disc connection, depending on the model. This design is common in conveyor and material handling applications where the gearmotor is mounted on the head shaft or drive shaft.

Are BISON AC gearmotors available with single-phase or three-phase input?

BISON AC gearmotors are available with both 3-phase and PSC (permanent split capacitor) single-phase input options. For example, model 026-720A0060 is a PSC unit rated at 0.125 hp, 28 RPM, and 220 in-lb maximum torque, drawing 1.85 A. Three-phase models include 027-730K0020T, 027-720G0100, 027-725G0050F, 027-725G0040, 027-725G0030, and 027-725G0060F. The choice depends on the available power supply and the required starting torque characteristics.

What enclosure type do BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors use?

BISON AC hollow shaft right angle gearmotors are supplied with totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosures. TEFC construction prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the motor housing while allowing heat dissipation through an external fan. This makes them suitable for continuous-duty industrial environments where exposure to contaminants is a concern. The TEFC design is standard across the models listed, including those with 3-phase and PSC input.

Can 3G Electric provide BISON AC gearmotors with specific voltage and frequency requirements?

3G Electric supplies BISON AC gearmotors in various voltage and frequency configurations as specified by the manufacturer. For example, model 027-720G0100 operates on 230V AC, while models 027-725G0050F and 027-725G0060F draw 0.9 A at 90 Hz. Other models may have different ratings. When requesting a quote, provide the required voltage, frequency, and phase to ensure the correct part number is selected. 3G Electric can cross-reference existing BISON AC part numbers or assist with selection based on application parameters.
