Selection Guide

The most important step lies in the accurate definition of the work that you require the motor and gearbox to perform. The selection of a suitable brushed dc motor and gearbox can only be made if the torque and speed can be defined. Of these two parameters, torque is probably the most difficult to identify - please contact us if you need help.
 

1. First decide which gearbox style you need: ovoid or in-line. For guidance please look at the gearbox information page.

2. Using the appropriate selection chart on this page, click the intersection point of the required torque (Nm) and speed (rpm). The correct motor output power can be read from the resulting chart. Any gearbox above the marked intersection will satisfy the torque requirement.

3. Using the brushed dc motor schedule that appears, select a motor from the appropriate power at maximum efficiency and voltage range.
