At ACORN industrial services, our offerings extending beyond just gear motors and gearboxes. We are committed to providing other couplings & drives products to meet your industrial needs:
A gear motor is an integrated device that combines a motor with a gearbox. It is designed to produce high torque at low speed, making it ideal for driving machinery where precise control over movement is needed.
A gearbox is usually an independent device that changes the speed and torque of some input power, mostly from a motor. In contrast, the gear motor combines both the motor and gearbox in one compact unit to be easily used and installed.
A motor produces rotational power, normally measured in torque, and speed. The transmission system changes this power into reduced speed and increased torque, which is then fed into the machinery. Together, they provide controlled and efficient power transmission.
This means that the motor is usually connected directly or through a flange mount to a gear box. This ensures a smooth transmission with no misalignment or loss in power from the motor to the gear.
The choice of gearbox should be based on considerations like the required torque, speed reduction, the nature of the application, load conditions, and environmental factors. In this case, one would consult a specialist or go to the technical specification given by the manufacturer to pick out the most suitable gearbox.
