How much do you know about gearbox reduction motors?

We all know that a gear motor is any motor that is paired with a reduction gearbox. So how much do you know about gear motors? Let Jinyuan Electromechanical introduce it to you.

Gear motors use AC or DC power sources.

In most cases, gear reducers are designed to increase available output torque without increasing motor power consumption while maintaining a compact size. The cost of torque doubling is a proportional decrease in output shaft speed and a decrease in overall efficiency.

By using appropriate gear technology and transmission ratios for specific applications, optimal output and speed curves as well as perfect mechanical coordination can be achieved, greatly improving the utilization rate of DC motors in the automation industry.

Classification of gearbox reduction motors

There are many types of reduction motors, which can be roughly divided into six categories: low-power reduction motors, high-power gear reduction motors, coaxial helical gear reduction motors, parallel axis helical gear reduction motors, spiral bevel gear reduction motors, and YCJ series gear reduction motors.

Application of gearbox reduction motor

Gear motors are used for applications that require high output torque and low output shaft speed, especially in situations where space and available power are limited. This includes a wide range of universal device applications across multiple industries. From car wipers and window motors to medical tools and surgical robot motors, from laboratory instruments to smart homes, from automatic door operators to frozen beverage mixers, gear motors are crucial to the overall performance of the devices we rely on every day. The rapid development of intelligence has further promoted the application of gear reduction motors in various industries.

Which industries are not suitable for using gear motors?

Due to the flexibility and widespread use of electric gear motors, it is actually easier to identify which applications do not use them. Any application that requires high shaft speed and relatively low torque will not be suitable for using gear motors. This includes most fan, pump, and scanning applications. In this case, the rotational speed of the motor shaft is the most important factor. Applications that require maximum efficiency, easy reversing, minimal sound, or highly precise speed or torque control will be more suitable for choosing a pure electric motor solution.
