Types of Geared Motors

A geared motor is a speed reducer that combines a motor with a gearbox. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including conveyors and material handling systems.
The type of geared motor you will need is dependent on your specific application needs. Some geared motors use bevel gears while others use worm, hypoid or helical gears.
Bevel: A bevel gear is one of the simplest geared motors. It consists of a cylinder of bronze that contains a shaft at its center. The cylinder is connected to a toothed wheel with a steel shaft.
These gears transfer torque more efficiently than worm or spur gears. However, they require additional lubrication. They are prone to wear and can be difficult to install. They can also be noisy, making them a less desirable choice for certain applications.
A bevel geared motor is generally preferred where space is limited, weight is an issue or where the application requires low noise output.
Some geared motors are designed with a bevel gearing system that is parallel to the motor shaft axis. This arrangement makes it easier to mount the gearbox without interference. It is also more stable than the helical type.
Another type of geared motor is the double helical type. These are similar to helical types except that the two helical sections of the gearbox are installed close together with a distance separating them.
These are commonly used in enclosed gear boxes.
They are typically more efficient and silent than worm gears. They are also more resistant to shock loads and can be self-locking.
This type of geared motor is typically used in industrial conveyors, material handling systems, steel mills and paper mills.
The design and construction of a geared motor is important to its functionality, which is why you should choose a company that specializes in the production of these types of gearing systems. This will ensure that the unit is durable and performs well over time.
