Core Structure of a Gear Motor

A gear motor mainly consists of two parts: a motor and a reducer.

 

Motor: Typically a three-phase asynchronous motor or servo motor provides the initial power. The motor has a high speed (e.g., commonly 1450 r/min), but relatively low torque, making it unsuitable for directly driving a load.

 

Reducer: Achieves speed reduction and torque increase through transmission elements such as gears and worm gears. Common reducer types include gear reducers, worm gear reducers, and planetary reducers, among which gear reducers are the most widely used due to their high efficiency and compact structure.
