We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Geared Motors",
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 Gearbox helps produce tough tyres from
Renold Gears, which we summarised at the time by saying "Renold PM series geared motors and smaller jPM wormgear units have been fitted at one of the most critical points in the Mitas manufacturing process, the calendar machines".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Motors survive weight and heat from
Siemens Flender: "Each 10m tall hoist contains a large FZG helical unit (size H4 HH15) with a 55kW six-pole motor, plus a total of 13 Motox helical bevel geared motors in varying sizes".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Nord Gear
concerning its Universal Worm gears
- take a look at Worm gears offer extended lifetimes
which says: "Nord Gear's worm units are particularly robust and also mount in any orientation, making them a particularly versatile solution for conveyor applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Lenze, Servomotors increase power ratings,
as well as Drives handle ale efficiently from Lenze,
and Motor combination saves energy from Siemens Flender.
