AC Gearmotors

Molon AC gearmotors: 34 models on 115 V AC 60 Hz, shaded pole and PSC reversible, from 4 to 154 RPM and up to 67 in-lb of torque. Used in vending, dispensing and material handling equipment.

The three series on this page

• EM5 Series — 6 models. PSC reversible gearmotors, 14 to 154 RPM, 12 to 67 in-lb. Runs in either direction with the right capacitor and wiring.
• HGM Series — 6 models. Shaded pole gearmotors, 4 to 25 RPM, 9.3 to 50 in-lb.
• ZEM Series — 5 models. Shaded pole gearmotors, 6 to 50 RPM.

Shaded pole or PSC reversible

Shaded pole motors are single direction, simple and inexpensive, and suit a mechanism that only ever turns one way: an auger, a drum, a timing cam. PSC reversible motors use a run capacitor and can be wired to turn either way, which is what a gate, a lift or a two-position mechanism needs. The EM5H and EM5R suffixes mark the two torque and speed groups within the reversible range.

Choosing a gearmotor

• Direction — one way only, or reversible under control.
• Speed — the output RPM is in the part number and the product title; the gear ratio is built in.
• Torque — size for the worst case in the cycle. Rated figures are in in-lb in each product title.
• Supply — all models on this page are 115 V AC 60 Hz. Ask us if you need another winding.

Quoting and lead time

Please call for pricing and availability. Shaft dimensions, mounting pattern, capacitor value where one is required, and lead termination are confirmed against the factory drawing on your quotation. If we do not have stock and you have a requirement for these parts, we will manufacture the material and release it as you need it.
