A gear motor is a compact unit consisting of an electric motor and a gearbox integrated together. The gearbox reduces the motor’s speed while increasing torque, allowing the motor to handle heavier loads efficiently.
Gear motors are widely used in:
- Conveyor systems
- Packaging machines
- Flour mills (chakki systems)
- Automation equipment
- Robotics and DIY projects
Common Types:
- Worm gear motor → high torque, self-locking
- Spur gear motor → simple and efficient
- Planetary gear motor → compact and high precision
- Helical gear motor → smooth and quiet operation
Key Features:
- High torque at low speed
- Compact and durable design
- Energy-efficient operation
- Low noise and vibration
- Wide range of speeds and power ratings
