We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Gearmotor",
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 DC gearmotor powers in on 12V supply from
Midwest Motion Products: "Compact and lightweight DC gearmotor requires just 7.2A at 12V DC to generate its full load torque of 10Nm".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions
concerning its A series bevel helical gearboxes
- take a look at Gearbox range expands
which says: "Compared to equivalent worm gearboxes, the A05 bevel helical gearbox will offer much higher efficiency, from +12% to +85%, depending on the gear ratio".
Take a look also at the news release from Midwest Motion Products, Small gear motor is big torquer,
as well as Gearmotors use shaded pole electric motors from Sharq Motion,
and Miniature DC gearmotor runs from 12V battery from Midwest Motion Products.
