Worm Gearboxes
In order to change the speed (RPM) or the output torque of a motor, a mechanical device needs to be used – a gearbox. The shaft of the motor is attached to one side of the gearbox and offers a given torque as output and speed which is determined by the gear ratio, through the internal arrangement of gears within a gearbox.
Types of Industrial Motors
There are several types of electric motors which include alternating current (AC) motors, direct current (DC) motors, and universal motors. All kinds of industries are required to install some type of motor as part of the driving force behind their production line. Modern technical development has made available a wide variety of electric motors for industrial use.
Using Energy Efficient Motors For Improved Productivity
Electric motors play a pivotal role in any industry. Research indicates that as much as 70% of all electric energy used is being consumed by the electric motors. Therefore, if you want to increase productivity and reduce your operating costs, you need to buy energy efficient motors. Continue reading
Introduction to Geared Motors
Geared motor is a motion force system comprising of a casing with reduction gears and electric motor inside it. Inside the casing the gears and the motor can be built as per the precise specifications.
One of the advantages of a geared motor is that it holds both the motor and the gears in one casing. As such, it acts as a space saver for the final component. The gear motors are so flexible that one can engineer it to upsize or downsize depending on where these are to be used, be it for commercial use or for home use. Continue reading
