The new VWDIR03 right angle fractional horsepower gearmotors from Bison Gear & Engineering Corp. are designed as Von Weise Drop-In Replacements. With applications ranging from exercise equipment to conveyors, the gearmotors are available in 13 standard models.

They're driven by a versatile universal motor that can be run from 115V ac or dc, and controlled with a rheostat or simple "light dimmer" triad electronic control.
