A gear motor is a mechanical system consisting of an electric motor and a gearbox containing a series of gears. The function of the gearbox coupled to the motor is to reduce its speed and increase its torque to do a given job at a given speed.
The addition of the gearbox on the motor and the extremely simple design that can be easily adapted to the customer’s needs, increases the usability of gear motors and makes them highly versatile in any field of mechanical automation (industrial and home automation, printers, vending machines, just to name a few applications). The motor can be with brushes, brushless, or stepper.
