    Gearmotors - (724 companies)
    ...arrangement is called a gear reducer or gearbox. The combination of an electric motor and gearbox reduces design complexity and lowers cost, particularly for motors built for high torque and low speed applications. In addition, gearboxes can be used...
  • DC Motors-Image
    DC Motors - (1247 companies)
    Configurations may include concave, round, square, hexagonal, splined, grooved, stepped, and screw types. Gearing is used in motors to increase or reduce shaft speed. It tends to decrease motor volume or weight. The types of gears that are used in DC motors...
  • AC Motors-Image
    AC Motors - (1320 companies)
    AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors. AC motors are electric motors which are powered by alternating current (AC). They are used to convert electrical energy...
  • Motor Starters and Contactors-Image
    Motor Starters and Contactors - (713 companies)
    ...for single-phase power or three-phase power. DC motor starters have a DC horsepower rating. Types. There are many different types of motor starters and contactors. Multi-speed motor starters are designed to be operated at a constant frequency...

    Stepper Motors (rotary) - (469 companies)
    Gearing. Stepper motors can incorporate gearing to adjust speed and torque output and reduce design complexity. Gearing is also used in stepper motors to increase resolution. There are a number of different gear assemblies that can be used: Spur...
  •  
    Metric Gears - (76 companies)
    Metric gears are defined by module, which designates the center-to-center distance between successive teeth. This criteria of gear selection is used in countries which have adopted the metric system and is intended to standardize gear selection...
  •  
    Herringbone Gears - (35 companies)
    Herringbone gears, also called double helical gears, are gear sets designed to transmit power through parallel or, less commonly, perpendicular axes. The unique tooth structure of a herringbone gear consists of two adjoining, opposite helixes...
  •  
    Hypoid Gears - (41 companies)
    ...high-pressure gear oil is necessary to reduce the friction, heat and wear on hypoid gears. This is particularly true when used in vehicle gearboxes. Care should be taken if the gearing contains copper, as some high-pressure lubricant additives erode copper...

Conduct Research

Originally, gears and the structure that houses them (called gearheads, gear reducers or gearboxes) were created for two main reasons: 1.To increase motor torque. 2.To enable more adjustments to be made to a motor's speed. However, advancements in technology has enabled gearboxes to make additional...

...load-carrying capability, uptime and longevity. While that is undoubtedly a major design challenge, it can be made simpler by partnering with an expert in mobile robot drivetrain design such as ElectroCraft, a global provider of dependable, application-engineered fractional-horsepower motor and motion...
