Product Description:

The BA3628-1331-56B is a permanent-magnet direct-current motor built by Pacific Scientific and supplied within the Permanent Magnet DC Motors series. This frame-mounted machine converts low-voltage direct power into rotational motion for conveyors, positioning tables, feed rollers, and other industrial axes that require straightforward speed control. It works with SCR or PWM armature controllers, so armature voltage can be varied for smooth adjustment across a useful operating range. Simple tachometer feedback can also be added when closed-loop velocity control is needed for more stable speed under changing load.

It operates from a nominal supply of 30 VDC, so low-voltage bus architectures can drive it directly without step-down conversion. Under rated conditions, the armature draws 16 A, which affects conductor size and expected thermal rise in the wiring and control section. At full load, the shaft delivers 1/2 HP at 2000 RPM, giving the motor a moderate output level for compact motion tasks. The duty classification is Continuous, so these operating limits can be maintained when ambient cooling keeps the winding temperature within the allowable range. This combination suits applications that run for extended periods instead of short intermittent cycles.

A Foot Mount base aligns with NEMA bolt patterns, so the motor can be installed on common machine beds without adapter plates. Power is delivered through a Single-Ended Keyed shaft, which helps prevent coupling slip and supports secure transmission to pulleys, gear reducers, or flexible couplings. The PM motor class eliminates external field excitation losses, reducing electrical complexity compared with wound-field DC motors. Its frame-mounted construction keeps integration straightforward in standard industrial equipment, especially where a compact DC drive is preferred for simple speed control.
