Geared Motors

A geared motor is a compact drive system combining an electric motor (AC or DC) with an integrated gearbox. The primary function of the gearbox is to convert the motor's high-speed, low-torque output into a lower, more controlled output speed with significantly increased torque. This torque multiplication is crucial for driving heavier loads. Common gear types include helical, spur, bevel, worm, and planetary, each offering different characteristics like right-angle or inline configurations, efficiency, noise levels, and self-locking capability. Geared motors are indispensable for a vast array of applications, including industrial automation, robotics, conveyors, lifting equipment, and material handling systems, where precise, high-torque, low-speed motion is required.
