0.16 What should you pay attention to when selecting geared motors?

1. Torque and power

  • Required output torque

  • Required engine power (kW)

  • Load type: constant, intermittent or alternating

2. Speed ​​and gear ratio

  • Desired output speed

  • Suitable gear ratio

  • Possible speed control (e.g. with frequency converter)

3. Design and assembly

  • Type (B3, B5 etc.)

  • Shaft type: Solid shaft, hollow shaft, plug-in shaft

  • Space conditions and installation position

4. Gear type

  • Spur gear, worm gear, bevel gear or flat gear

  • Efficiency, noise level and self-locking

5. Operating conditions

  • Ambient temperature

  • Moisture, dust, chemicals

  • Required protection rating (IP)

6. Duty cycle and load

  • Continuous operation or short-term operation

  • Switching frequency and starting torque

7. Additional equipment

  • brake, torque arm, flange

  • Encoder, special bearing, special paintwork

In short:

A geared motor must precisely meet torque, speed, design and operating conditions in order to operate durably and efficiently.
