The fundamental mode of operation for gearing and its transmission of mechanical power remains unchanged — as has that for the electric motors with which they pair. But innovative variations have become increasingly common and include more custom gearing, compact designs, and better gearboxes and servogear sets (including helical gearing) for efficiency. Gearing and gearmotors […]

Motion Trends: Customization tops gearmotor design trends
Wider industry trends towards more customized offerings from component manufacturers are also driving gearmotor designs. Manufacturers are offering designers more customized solutions via more in-house engineering resources, simplifying the design process. More custom solutions also mean greater integration with other components in a design, better connectivity and fewer compatibility issues. For example, Gabriel Venzin, President […]
NORD to unveil new trade show booth and drive products at IPPE
NORD Gear Corporation is attending the world’s largest annual poultry, meat and feed industry event, the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE). There, NORD will be discussing cost-saving aluminum alloy drive systems for the food processing industry. The event, held February 12 to 14 at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center, attracts more than 30,000 visitors. […]
How do gearmotors impact reflected mass inertia from the load?
In any drive system (that is, a motor driving a load), there is going to be inertia. Specifically, the motor will have inertia as will the load. For a direct drive system (a direct motor-to-load connection) the individual inertias can just be added together in a straightforward way. However, for any other type of setup involving […]
Hygienic, stainless gearmotor designs improve fish-processing plant
Processing fresh fish necessitates a hygienic environment with regular washdowns, followed by frigid temperatures for freezing final products. That’s why machinery in such settings must be extremely rugged — and why one fish supplier has used motors from Bauer Gear Motor for the last few years. Van Der Lee Seafish processes approximately 200 tons of […]
NORD launches next generation two-stage bevel gear motors
NORD’s new SK 920072.1 two-stage helical bevel gear motor (mounted with a NORD motor) is a drive solution for a wide range of light duty conveying, processing and manufacturing applications. Identified by its high-strength and light-weight design, NORD’s newest aluminum gear motor is a cost-effective replacement for cast iron units. Two housing styles offer options […]
New Bodine compact planetary BLDC gearmotors for high torque
Bodine Electric Co. now sells 22B4-60P planetary gearmotors. These integral gearmotors combine Bodine’s high-performance type 22B brushless DC motor with the new 60P (60mm) planetary gearhead. It is suitable for applications that need higher torque than conventional helical/spur gearheads of a similar size can provide, and where a very low backlash gearhead isn’t required. Typical […]
