Superior protection from IP65 to IEC 529 assures you that the BG series is dust tight and hose proof, and can be used outdoors or in wet and dusty environments without the use of additional enclosures.
Full rated output is available at the output shaft of the unit.

An inverter friendly design provides for easy integration now and a truly future proof solution.

Inch or metric dimensioned output shafts are standard providing for easy integration into all your applications.

Total flexibility in mounting options includes foot, base, face, and flange solutions. The motor terminal box can be mounted in alternative positions rotated in 90° steps around the motor frame providing for unparalleled integration possibilities.

All position flexibility. The BG unit may be mounted in any required position, i.e. horizontal, vertical, or suspended easily meeting any requirement.

High level of parts interchangeability for all gearmotor components benefits the customer with increased options, reduced costs, faster deliveries, and a faster maintenance “learning curve”.

Complying with North American and International standards, including NEMA, IEC, CSA, & CE, the BG series allows for worldwide acceptance, a true total solution for our global customers.

Generously dimensioned ball or roller bearings, case hardened forged and ground gears, and internally and externally reinforced gearboxes ensure a long, low maintenance service life.

A hardened wear sleeve and spray ring at the rotor seal allow for reduced sump capacity, reliable lubrication and many years of leak free performance.

Quiet running is a trademark of all Danfoss Bauer geared motors making also the BG series a provider of comfortable and healthy work environments.

A minimum level of maintenance is a prime feature of the Danfoss Bauer Gearmotor program. Change of lubricant is normally required only after 10,000 operating hours.

Bauer Aseptic Drive

The Bauer Aseptic Drive is a combination of an asynchronous motor with a smooth surface (without cooling ribs and fan) and a gearbox from the renowned Bauer 2000 range.

Features and benefits

Product range : Power rating 0,37 - 1,1 kW

Combines with:

BG Helical gears
BF Shaft mount gears
BK Bevel gears
BS Worm gears

Main features

Both the motor and gearbox have a smooth surface without dirt traps which is beneficial to the food & beverage industry.
Re-infection in the surrounding area is avoided as the cooling of the motor results over the smooth housing surface and not with a fan.
High degree of protection (IP66) with acid and alkali resistant paint finish in CORO 1.
Motor windings in Iso. Class F as standard, together with thermistors
Hollow or solid shaft in stainless steel (V4A) and CORO 3 paint system available on request together with the acid and alkali-resistant paint system CORO 1 makes Danfoss aseptic gear motors undoubtedly a superior technical solution.

Application criteria

Special requirements regarding hygiene and cleaning are necessary in the production areas of the food and beverage industry. This is due to the sensitivity of the products and their perishable nature. For this reason, most equipment and production machines are made of stainless steel, permitting thorough cleaning once production has ended. Stainless steel also allows the use of acid or alkali-based cleaning agents which, in combination with disinfectants, ensure that all relevant germs and bacteria are destroyed.

With gear motors, which are generally mounted directly onto the machines, it has not been possible to fulfil these requirements in the past. The reasons for this are the design of the housing structures, the ribs of the motors and the fans used for cooling causing dirt to gather in areas which are almost impossible to reach or where the cleaning solutions cannot drain off causing so called “dirt traps”.

The new Bauer 2000 series of gear motors succeeds in meeting these requirements, at least with regard to the housing, as their basic structure is already as smooth and bevelled as possible. This makes cleaning easy and allows liquid residues to drain off completely.

Conventional motors fitted with cooling ribs can only be partially cleaned, if at all. Today, on many production lines it is common to see cooling ribs completely clogged with belt lubricants or product residues, especially in parts which offer no direct access. The same problem - but probably worse - can often be observed beneath the fan cowl, as there is generally no possibility of cleaning there without removing the cowl completely.

The new “aseptic motor” provides a smooth surface which can be cleaned simply and effectively without allowing any dirt pockets to accumulate. It is also difficult for deposits to stick. The absence of a fan means above all that an inaccessible source of dirt, which like the dirt in the cooling ribs led to re-infections of the production machinery during restarting after the weekend, has now been removed. Furthermore, a temperature check can be performed by means of the standard thermistors.

The motor connection results by means of a round connector which contains the motor and the thermistor contacts. Due to this connection concept, also an optimal cleaning in the area of the connector is possible.

To summarise, the Bauer Gear Motor “Aseptic Drive” constitutes a highly effective solution for the food and beverages industry. The high degree of protection (IP66) as standard.
