IronHorse VP1 series DC gearmotors

May 21, 2025 – AutomationDirect has added IronHorse VP1 series DC gearmotors that are designed to power high-torque mechanical loads at lower speeds with a compact motor. They are powered by 90 VDC and are designed for use with unfiltered SCR or PWM waveforms generated by a DC drive. They can also be used in across-the-line applications. They all come in a rugged die-cast aluminum frame and are offered in three frame sizes. These gearmotors can provide torque up to 280 in-lbs, with a maximum speed of 165 rpm. Wiring is a simple two-lead connection and brushes are externally replaceable for easy maintenance. VP1 series DC gearmotors are manufactured in the USA and come with a 1-year warranty. 

The new IronHorse VP1 series DC gearmotors start at $230.00 (VP1C-90V-1007).
