The Tried-and-Tested Benefits of DC Gear Motors.

A 12v DC Gear Motor combines motor and gearbox into one housing. It is powered by the Lorentz force principle which governs the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. ‘DC’ refers to a direct electrical input.

12v DC gear motors can be found in every sector or every industry due to their unique features and benefits, the top four of which are:

Low operational noise

A 12v DC gear motor generates very low levels of noise because the entire system is enclosed in a housing. Another factor which dictates noise output can be attributed to exacting alignment. The geared motor is suitable for precision applications which require very low note levels, such as those found in the medical industry.

Function & lifespan

The compact form of a geared DC motor enables high degrees of control and lubrication. This reduces the likelihood of overheating, and of leaks forming. DC motors are well suited to applications which must operate for thousands of hours uninterrupted.

Torque power

A geared motor's torque power is increased via the reduction of speed. Torque is useful for applications which require high force from a standing-start.

Speed output

In the past, gearheads were a useful tool for lowering engine speed. Electronic speed controllers now do the work of gearheads. Without a gearbox, the reduction ratio of a geared motor is driven solely by motor speed.

DC-geared motors are well matched for applications which demand distinct features such as high torque, low maintenance, and reduced sound output. Industries such as robotics, mobile devices, battery-powered equipment, and medical devices all hugely benefit from the invention of the geared motor.
