We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Geared Motor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Worm gears offer extended lifetimes from
Nord Gear, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nord Gear's worm units are particularly robust and also mount in any orientation, making them a particularly versatile solution for conveyor applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Geared motor slips into position precisely from
Rodriguez (UK): "Compact geared motor is ideal for repeatable positioning and reversing tasks in applications where space is at a premium".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Rodriguez (UK)
- take a look at Distribution brings new motor products to UK
which says: "RA Rodriguez is now responsible for Framo product sales in the UK and Ireland".
Take a look also at the news release from Siemens Flender, Motors offer 96% efficiency,
as well as Pump handles aggressive recycling application from Watson-Marlow Bredel Pumps,
and Preheater drives improve boiler efficiency from Renold Gears.
