For many decades now, gear motors have been used in a variety of different sectors all over the world, and their demand has increased over the past ten years or so, due in part to the role they play in the robotics industry.
The need for technology that boosts efficiency and profitability is greater than ever. Indeed it is particularly important now as virtually all nations face economic turmoil in the wake of rising global energy prices. Gear motors, which describe an electric motor combined with a gear reducer, can help deliver enhanced performance and reduced energy consumption.
Even at low speeds, gear motors are renowned for producing high torque values, and this is down to integrated sequential gearing hosted in a gearbox. Gear Motors have the ability to reduce speed, whilst increasing torque power, so if your application requires high torque, even from a standing-stop, a gear motor is the optimal choice.
AC Motors which have a defined speed and run on an alternating current are typically used predominantly for industrial applications. Direct current motors (DC), on the other hand, are used in a huge range of different industries, including automation, transportation, robotics, sanitary automation, health care, food and beverage production, and many more.
Here is a brief description of the three most popular forms of gear motors:
Worm gear motor
The worm gear motor offers the smoothest movement with the least amount of operational noise. This variation also offers superior meshing.
Spur gear motor
This form of motor runs on DC current and features a spur gearhead. It is best chosen for applications which require increased gear ratios.
Planetary gear motor
This motor design mimics a planetary system and incorporates a gearhead. It is small in diameter but delivers very high torque power.
Compared to alternatives on the market, gear motors provide a variety of distinct advantages. In particular, by eliminating the need to develop separate gear systems, integrated gear motors are more cost-effective and offer enhanced performance. Furthermore, a paired gear and motor system has a longer lifespan than that of separate components which are then paired post- production.
When coupling an individual gear reducer to a motor, alignment can be a real issue. As a result, extra expenses can result from increased maintenance and replacement caused by misalignment.
Gear motors are fully integrated systems and their simple design reduces wear and the likelihood of misalignment issues. It is also worth bearing-in-mind that the production quality of any given motor goes a long way into determining its performance and longevity.
