Gear Boxes/ Geared Motors

Gear boxes:

A gearbox, also known as a gearhead or gear reducer, is a mechanical device that consists of a series of gears housed in an enclosure. Its primary function is to modify the speed, torque, and direction of power transmission from a power source, such as an electric motor or engine, to a driven load, such as a conveyor belt or machinery. Gearboxes achieve this by using different-sized gears with varying numbers of teeth to alter the mechanical advantage between the input and output shafts. Gearboxes can provide speed reduction (increasing torque) or speed increase (reducing torque), and they play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of machinery.

Geared Motors:

A geared motor integrates a motor and a gearbox into a single unit. It combines the power generation capabilities of an electric motor with the speed and torque control features of a gearbox. Geared motors are versatile and find applications in a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and robotics to automotive systems. They are commonly used in situations where space constraints or specific torque and speed requirements dictate the need for a compact and integrated solution. Geared
motors simplify the design and installation process, offering a more streamlined approach to power transmission.
