Gear Motors
BLDC Motors & Gear Motors
A Gear Motor is the fusion of an electric motor and a gear box designed in such a way that they both come together as a single unit. The output you get is from the shaft of the gearbox which is generally used to provide optimal torque & speed and sometimes just to align the motor’s output to the next component in a complex arrangement. Usually for traction and propulsion applications these Gear motors come into picture when a Brushless DC motor is integrated with a Gear system, it becomes a ready to use solution for most of the Electric Vehicle applications in the industry. Whether it is a commercial, passenger, cargo or special utility vehicle, the manufacturers usually use a single, dual or multi speed reduction gearbox, the BLDC Gear Motor comes as a simple solution saving space and reducing weight while increasing reliability and efficiency of the system.
Types of Geared Motor:
- Planetary Gear Motors: Planetary gear motors are popular in EVs due to their compact design and high torque density. They are frequently used in the transmission systems of electric vehicles, offering a good balance between size, weight, and performance.
- Helical Gear Motors: Helical gear motors are known for their smooth and quiet operation. They are often used in applications where minimizing noise is important. These motors provide good efficiency and are suitable for applications where space is not a constraint.
- Spur Gear Motors: Spur gear motors are simple and cost-effective. While they may be less compact compared to planetary gears, they find applications in electric vehicles where simplicity and reliability are prioritized, such as in smaller EVs or low-speed applications.

Benefits of BLDC Gear Motors
- Amplified Torque: Geared BLDC motors can deliver high amounts of torque output while the motor can rotate at a very high speed, ensuring the system can handle most demanding tasks.
- Precision in Control: The gearbox serves as a reduction gear box, allowing for great control over speed and movement, a critical feature in applications where high precision is required
- Space-Efficient Designs: Compact form factor that planetary geared BLDC motors offer are great solutions in applications where space is a constraint and where every inch counts while maintaining the same power output.
- Highly Efficient: These motors are designed for high efficiency, providing the best balance between torque and speed depending on the application.
