Exerting High Amount of Force with Planetary Gear Motor

Gear motors incorporate an electrical motor along with a reduction gear train and all these is integrated inside a compact box that is very simple to configure. These are designed to provide a vet high torque at a quite low shaft speeds and are a vital part of many different machines and appliances that are used in a wide range of industries including the construction, manufacturing, automotive and many other. The advanced specifications of these motors allow them to provide both stall-speed as well as normal speed torque. They come with gear trains whose primary function is to increase the torque while at the same time reducing the output speed of the electric motors. Reduction of the motor's rotating shaft speed is another process that can be easily achieved through the use of gear motors.

With its practical design and high torque to size ratio a planetarygear motor makes use of advanced principles of operation to provide superior performance and great level of efficiency. It is designed to be adjusted in a variety of mounting positions and be used with different types of motors including hydraulic, basic electrical as well as air motors. The planetary gear motor is also referred to as epicyclic gear system and is basically a combination of gears arranged together to form the whole system. Due to the similarities between the arrangement of gears and the solar system the gearbox gets its name planetary motor. The system consists of three basic components: a ring gear, planet gears and sun gears. The ring gear which is known as annulus as well is positioned at the outermost part of the gearbox and includes special teeth that designed to connect with the internal planet gears. The sun gear is the central element of the planetary gearbox and represents a vital part of the whole system. As the planets orbit the Sun the planet gears are designed to rotate around the sun gear and mesh together with the ring gear.

The gears inside gear motors are turned with a magnetic current that is produced by either special electromagnets or permanent ones. By being connected to a second shaft the gears are capable of increasing the amount of torque that the motor is able to produce and at the same time they simultaneously reduce the output speed. As a result of all this the motor won't require a lot of current to operate properly and will produce a higher level of torque while moving slowly. Printing machines, packaging devices, machine tools are just some of the devices that can operate more efficiently with a gear motor. It is often used in medical equipment, laboratory devices and home appliances as well.
