We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Gearheads",
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 Low-cost gearmotors are reliable and precise from
Micro-Drives, which we summarised at the time by saying "For challenging OEM applications where reliability and precision are demanded, five gearmotor sizes offer a range of cost-effective solutions".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Electric motors added to online database from
Specamotor: "Planetary gearheads and spur hearheads from Faulhaber have also been added to the SpecAmotor database, allowing for 2853 valid motor-gearhead combinations from this vendor alone".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Parvalux Electric Motors
concerning its Parvalux DC brushless motors and controller
- take a look at Brushless motor catalogue released
which says: "Parvalux offers solutions ranging from stand-alone motors through to complete motor/controller/gearbox packages".
Take a look also at the news release from MicroMo Electronics, Small stepper motor gives high torque,
as well as Small servomotors deliver high power from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products,
and Motors feature planetary gearheads from Parvalux Electric Motors.
