Mini gear motors

Mini gear motors are compact electric motors that combine the functions of a motor and a gearbox. They differ in the type of transmission and power, they can be planetary, cycloidal, worm. Small gearboxes are used in industry, mechanical engineering for the arrangement of various mechanisms and special equipment. They are equipped with information machines, automated control systems, telemetry devices and other types of equipment that require the use of small gearboxes.

Features of compact gearboxes

Despite their miniature size, mini gear motors have a fairly high level of efficiency, are easy to install and operate. They can be equipped with built-in and incremental encoders, braking mechanisms.

Advantages of small-sized gearboxes:

• high performance;
• built-in overload protection;
• standard connection dimensions;
• integrated management system;
• versatility in gear ratio.

The lightness and small size of small-sized gear motors are achieved by maximizing the optimization of all structural elements of the device. Such equipment can be installed in both horizontal and vertical positions. It is fixed with the help of ordinary bolts, hardware.

Types of small-sized gearboxes

Worm gear – low-cost devices with worm gear. Such gearboxes are used to equip mechanisms that need to reduce the speed of the drive and increase the torque.

Planetary mechanisms are widely in demand in medicine, in production and in the food sector. Devices of this type have all the advantages of worm models, are energy efficient and silent in operation.

Cycloidal gearboxes with a fixed gear ratio that reduce the speed of rotation. Such equipment is used in the mining, food and machine building industries for the construction of agitators, mills and crushers.

Manufacturers of Mini Gear Motors

Gefeg is a compact gearbox from Germany for the food, machine building and printing industries.

King Right is a large manufacturing holding company in Taiwan that manufactures planetary and cylindrical equipment with various technical characteristics. The company has been producing gear motors for over 40 years.

"SLCD" are Chinese-made gearboxes that are in no way inferior in their technical characteristics to their European counterparts. The mechanisms of this brand are equipped with durable aluminum housings and have a simple design that does not require maintenance.
