Item description for Bodine Electric Company 1968 Fractional HP Motor And Control Handbook 3rd Edtion

The Bodine Electric Company welcomes the opportunity to present this motor handbook for use as a handy reference for servicemen, students, design engineers, and operators of machines powered by fractional-horsepower motors. The material presented is, in the main, a collection of pertinent, readily usable facts and is not intended for use as a textbook in basic motor theory. Design engineers confronted with the problem of matching a small motor and machine will find this handbook of particular value. Design problems, often times, may have more than one acceptable solutin and important factors affecting motor selectionmay be overlooked by even the most experienced of engineers. Frequently, a designer must compromise his motor choice to comply with the machine manufacturer's policy of firm product design control, including choice of components. When loads outside the guaranteed electrical and/or mechanical standards are imposed on a motor, application trouble can result. Tfore, evaluation of all the application factors which may have a direct bearing on the machine's operation is most important.
