Gefeg Motoren manufactures both AC and DC brushed and brushless motors, and also has planetary gears available from 30mm low cost plastic/metal combinations to 32, 42, 52, 62 and 81mm planetary options.
Thousands of planetary, worm, spur and combination gears are available from OEM Automatic for OEMs.
