Product Description:

Pacific Scientific’s BA3628-5822-9-56BC belongs to the Permanent Magnet DC Motors series and functions as a low-voltage rotary prime mover for industrial automation. The permanent-magnet field design allows tight speed regulation while minimizing field losses, making the unit suitable for battery-powered guided vehicles, compact conveyors, or positioning jigs where continuous duty and quick reversals are required. Its DC motor design also supports straightforward speed control with compatible electronic drives, which is useful in equipment that depends on smooth response during repeated starts, stops, and direction changes.

The motor is energized from a 24 VDC supply and, under rated load, draws 20 A of armature current. With a base speed of 1750 RPM, it aligns with standard machine gearing so mechanical ratios remain conventional. Output capability reaches 1/2 HP, which is suitable for modest material-handling axes or actuator drives that must fit inside space-constrained frames. The electrical front end is PWM and battery rated, indicating that the armature can be switched by high-frequency pulse-width modulators without excessive commutator heating. It also accepts the unfiltered voltage of traction batteries, which simplifies integration in mobile installations and other DC-powered systems.

A TENV housing keeps airborne dust out while relying on surface conduction for heat dissipation, which suits applications that cannot use an open ventilated motor. The 56C frame conforms to NEMA dimensional standards, so the shaft height, pilot diameter, and bolt circle fit many existing C-face gear reducers. For base-mount installations, the casting includes a removable base, giving fabricators the choice between footed or face-only attachment. The motor also uses a NEMA C mounting face to maintain concentric alignment with coupled loads and help keep axial runout within gearbox tolerances.
