Different Types of Geared Motors and Their Applications

图片
A gear motor is an electric motor coupled to a gearbox. In most cases, the purpose of adding a gearbox is to limit the speed of the motor shaft and increase the output torque of the motor. Gears convert shaft speed and torque at a specific ratio with minimal loss of efficiency, which allows the ideal output speed and torque to be produced by adding a properly sized and configured gearbox. Additionally, the user can use the gearbox to redirect the output shaft to a different direction. In this blog, we will better understand the different types of gear  reduction  motor s and their advantages, as well as common applications of geared motors.   What types of geared motors are there? Generally speaking, the most common forms of geared motors are right angle gear motors using worm, bevel or hypoid gears and inline gear motors using spur gear or planetary gear systems. Worm, spur and planetary gear technologies are the most commonly used technologies in gear motor design. With selectable AC
