Combination of an electric motor and a speed reducer

A geared motor is a mechanical device that combines an electric motor with a speed reducer in a single compact unit. The main purpose of a geared motor is to reduce the high rotational speed of the motor to a lower, usable speed while increasing torque. This enables precise and efficient control of motion in a variety of applications.

Main components of a geared motor

Motor

The electric motor is the part of the geared motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It may be a direct current (DC) motor, a brushless motor, an induction motor or any other type of electric motor.

Speed reducer

A speed reducer consists of a set of gears or gearwheels that reduces the motor's output speed while increasing torque. The most common types of reducer are the spur gear reducer used for moderate speed reductions, the worm gear reducer used for high speed reductions and offering high torque, and the planetary reducer offering high reduction ratios in a small size.

How a geared motor works

Energy conversion

The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, generating rotation at high speed but with relatively low torque.

Speed reduction

The speed reducer, via its gear train, reduces this speed of rotation to a lower speed.

Torque increase

By reducing speed, the gearbox increases torque, making the output more powerful and better suited to moving heavier loads or for applications requiring a high output force.

Geared motor applications

Geared motors are used in a variety of industrial applications. Geared motors are key components in many mechanical and electrical systems, offering compact and efficient solutions for reducing speed and increasing torque in diverse applications.
