Product Description:

The BA3624-7045-56C is a direct-current motor produced by Pacific Scientific within the Permanent Magnet DC Motors series. It converts low-voltage electrical energy into rotary motion for material handling, indexing tables, and other automation axes where steady torque is required. When paired with a matched DC drive, the unit provides controllable speed for conveyors, feeders, and compact process stations. Its operating style suits equipment that needs smooth response at low and moderate speeds without a large motor package.

The motor is designed for a DC bus of 24 VDC, so the drive must supply regulated armature voltage at that level. At nominal voltage, the armature draws 13 A, which helps determine power-supply and conductor sizing. At that operating point, the shaft delivers 1/3 HP for light-duty actuators such as feeders, small conveyors, and indexing mechanisms. Speed operation centers on a base speed of 1200 RPM, and the drive can vary armature voltage to adjust velocity around that point. The specified form factor of 1.0 indicates that current ripple from a controlled rectifier supply should not exceed the DC average, which helps reduce torque pulsation. The case also serves as the protective ground path, so the frame must be bonded correctly during installation.

As a continuous-duty unit, the motor can sustain rated load without intermittent cooling periods. Its permanent-magnet field eliminates shunt coils, which reduces heat generation and simplifies control. The NEMA 56C frame uses a 4.5-inch pilot diameter and threaded mounting holes that fit standard gear reducers and other face-mounted components. Installation is straightforward because the face flange configuration allows direct coupling to pumps or augers, while the case-bonding lug provides a low-impedance ground connection to the equipment frame. This housing arrangement also supports horizontal or vertical mounting, which helps the motor fit a wider range of machine layouts.
