Custom gear motors from Applimotion provide high torque and low speed and offer a low profile. The assemblies combine precision gearing and direct drive frameless motor kits to form a new high torque alternative to coupling a servo motor to a traditional gear box.
Applimotion combines its ULT, UTH, and UTS low profile frameless motors with the right gearing solution for custom projects. Combining direct drive motor technology with the appropriate gearing solution may be the best alternative for smoothness, low speed, high torque and low profile package. These assemblies include precision bearings and high-resolution encoders, and can work with any traditional servo controller to meet power and communications needs.
Applimotion can create custom gear motor assemblies ranging in size from 25 mm to 800 mm diameter. For example, a 150 mm diameter 150 mm unit can produce 50 Nm of continuous torque and up to 150 Nm peak torque. A traditional servo motor this size would only produce about 5 Nm of continuous torque, and if coupled to a gear box would add 2X to the overall length.
