Gear Motors

Gear motors are used for any number of tasks, usually those that require a motor that is durable and long lasting. There are both AC and DC gear motors, each of which is used in different capacities. DC gear motors are used when low current and low noise are desired, while AC gear motors are used in larger operations. Gear motors are also commonly used in the building of robots.

AC gear motors generally come in two phases: single phase and three-phase. Single phase motors operate by using a system where all voltages vary in unison. In contrast, the three phase motor has at least three separately operating conductors that carry the voltage evenly. Choosing which type of gear motor to use is important. Single phase motors are usually used in smaller applications, while a three phase motor would be used in larger operations.

DC gear motors are known for their slow rotation, low noise, and low current, which makes them ideal for operations that need to be continual and quiet. One great example of where are DC gear motor could be used is in a vehicle's air conditioning unit. The gear motor keeps the air conditioning running steadily for long periods of time with little or no noise.

Motor gears, or the components that run gear motors, are produced in a wide range of models. There are both AC and DC gear motors, which can then be split up into single and three-phase motors. Depending on the size and voltage of your appliance, choosing the correct gear motor is very important.

Gear head motors are often used in the building of robots because of their high quality and the ability to withstand a beating. This comes in handy in the production of competition robots, where the point of the competition is to stop to robot from operating. Gear head motors are usually reversible, with high torque and specially designed oil bearings conducive to long life.
