Gearboxes, Gearheads & Speed Reducers Purpose and benefit Convert motor speed into increased output torque for reliable startup and load handling. Deliver controlled, precise motion by reducing speed and smoothing acceleration. Provide a compact, modular solution that fits a variety of machines and layouts. Durable construction supports long service life in demanding environments. Low backlash variants offer higher precision and repeatability for positioning tasks. Compatibility and mounting Designed to fit a wide range of motors with common shaft sizes and mounting patterns. Multiple output shaft options and flange configurations to suit different equipment footprints. Sealed housings and lubrication options enhance reliability in dusty, dirty, or moist environments. Size, material and performance Available in sizes from compact to heavy duty to meet space and load needs. Gears typically made from hardened steel or strength alloys; housings available in steel or aluminum depending on model. Efficient designs minimize energy consumption; low backlash variants available for precision work. Exact torque, speed, and ratio ranges vary by model; consult the specification sheet for precise figures. Use scenarios Packaging and material handling: A gearbox on a conveyor motor provides steady belt speed and smooth start/stop, improving product handling and reducing belt wear. Robotic actuation and automation: A gearhead delivers torque at low speed for precise, repeatable positioning in a joint or gripper. CNC and automated equipment: A lowbacklash gearbox drives a linear axis or rotary table for accurate feed and repeatable cycles. How to choose Assess required output torque and target speed to select an appropriate gear ratio and model. Verify input shaft size, mounting type, and flange pattern to ensure motor compatibility. Consider enclosure rating, lubrication needs, and maintenance intervals for your environment and uptime goals. Maintenance and care Follow lubrication guidelines and service intervals to maintain performance. Regularly inspect shafts, couplings, and alignment to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation. Notes The range covers multiple configurations to fit standard motor types and equipment footprints; refer to the product catalog for exact models, ratios, materials, and specifications.
