What DC Gear Motor is

In terms of the structure of product itself, the DC gear motor also belongs to an ordinary DC motor. What differs lies in a newly-added gear motor in its basic structure, which explains why it is called gear motor. This article will make a brief introduction of the principle and function of the DC gear motor.

1.Working principles    

The internal gearbox, the most significant components of a DC gear motor, is used to reduce speed. Therefore, its working principles are closely related to gearbox. Firstly, it can provide a larger torque when the rotation speed is relatively low. Secondly, different proportion of rotation speed and torque stands for a different gear ratio.

2.Composition

A common DC gear motor is composed of two parts, namely stationary part and rotating part. When it is under operation, the former is called the fixer which contains a metal shell and a magnetic pole to generate magnetic field. The latter gets the name as rotor, whose internal structure is much complex than fixer.

3.Functions

Focused on energy conversion, the main purpose of the DC gear motor is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy of rotation. As a result, it enjoys a relatively wider use in steel machinery, factory automation and other sectors, especially leaving an impressive effect on electrolysis, electroplating, electrofusion and other industrial processes.
