Motor reducer is a design which combines the work of the electric motor and the gearbox, thanks to which the highest efficiency is achieved. Motor gearboxes are used in various designs of machines, units, for example, automatic packaging lines (pallet wrappers), conveyors, units used in the chemical industry, food, etc.
Depending on the field of application, you can motor reducer to buy of the following types:
- worm - motor gearboxes, which are used for mechanisms, which are based on intermittent or continuous modes. The advantage of this type of geared motor: ease of use, unpretentiousness. But there are also significant disadvantages in the operation of worm gear motors. For example, a low efficiency, about 80%, since during operation there is friction at a high speed of metal elements. As a result, there are no small worm gear motors, since then, the efficiency of the device will be even less;
- cylindrical (the most common type) - the advantage of such devices is that they have a high efficiency with a low level of wear. These conditions are also met under conditions of increased intensity of operation and under unfavorable conditions. Also, the positive aspects of a cylindrical gear motor can be considered a significant saving in energy losses (due to high efficiency), the rotational ability of the shaft without observing a single direction with the same amount of gear ratios, many modes of operation at different speeds, low cost, ease of installation;
- conical - in fact, they are a subspecies of cylindrical, which has high efficiency, resistance to loads (short-term and alternating). The disadvantage of a bevel gear motor is a much higher cost compared to a cylindrical one. Despite the significant advantages, this type of geared motor has some disadvantages. For example, the load can be carried out in a single direction, which significantly narrows the scope of their application. It is not possible to use in an aggressive environment, as well as on objects where explosive substances are used;
- planetary - to achieve optimal performance of such systems, the electric motor and gearbox are located on the same axis. The advantages are small weight and dimensions (used in �
