Gearmotors

Gearmotors of all types and sizes including single / multiphase, universal, servo, induction and synchronous types. An AC gearmotor consists of a series of three windings in the stator section with a simple rotating section and an integral gearbox or gearhead. The changing field caused by 50 or 60 Hertz AC line voltage causes the rotor to rotate about the axis of the motor. AC motors are the most common and simple type of motor manufactured.  DC gearmotors are configured in many types and sizes, including brushless and servo. A DC gearmotor consists of a rotor and a permanent magnetic field stator and an integral gearbox or gearhead. The magnetic field is maintained using either permanent magnets or electromagnetic windings. DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications.  A DC servomotor has an output shaft that can be positioned by sending a coded signal to the motor.  As the input to the motor changes, the angular position of the output shaft changes as well.  Servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control.  Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gearmotor types.  Stepper motors are a class of motors that provide incremental motion, or steps, in response to pulses of current that alternately change the polarity of the stator poles; step motors do not require feedback and are sometimes used in "Open Loop," or no-feedback applications.
