Gear Motor Basics | Case Studies
April 10, 2018We’re taking everything we’ve discussed and applying it in three scenarios. Any gear motor will work for most applications, but there’s usually only one or two types that are best.
We’re taking everything we’ve discussed and applying it in three scenarios. Any gear motor will work for most applications, but there’s usually only one or two types that are best.
In this video we discuss how to select a gear motor in four simple steps by choosing an integrated gear motor.
This video continues our discussion of selecting a gear motor by pairing the separate components. Now we look at how to select a motor based on the reducer selected for the application.
In this video we begin our deep dive into gear motor selection. There are two methods for pairing motors and reducers to create the optimal gear motor. Here we begin with the first method by taking a look at gear box selection.
This video covers the important application criteria that need to be considered when selecting a gear motor.
Right Angle reducers are great for applications where size and space are at a premium. With the ability of the the output to turn a 90 degree corner.
Planetary reducers are ideal for applications requiring high torque in a small package and an output shaft with coaxial alignment. We’ll discuss the construction, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of Planetary gearboxes.
Parallel shaft gearboxes are an ideal solution for continuous duty applications; applications requiring low torque; applications with higher ambient temperatures; or applications that are cost conscious.
In this video we give a quick overview of motors and explain the rationale for using gear motors – why using a reducer (gearbox) with a motor enables the use of a smaller motor and increased torque and/or speed.
Even when the motor matches the application on paper, you can still run into new variables while testing. Here are six common checks to help determine why your motor may be overheating.
Narrow your search by selecting motor type, gearbox, voltage, and phase options for your desired motor.
Select a dominant variable: choose one of the three parameters to narrow your search. The selected variable determines which slider bar you will be able to manually move.
Use the slider corresponding to your dominant variable to further narrow your motor selection. The other sliders will automatically move to show available ranges based on the range of your selected variable.
Results will upload as your search criteria changes. If you have any questions regarding your results or how to use the search tool, you can chat with us using the green tab on the left-hand side of your screen.
Note: Groschopp Universal motors are custom built to fit your application so no additional options are available to narrow the search. Selecting the Universal motor type will prompt a message taking you to the Universal product page.
