Applications of Miniature Motors and Gearboxes in Pump Drives

Centrifugal Pumps

Use Case: Water supply systems, HVAC, irrigation, and chemical transfer.
Gearbox Role: Matches the high‑speed motor to the lower‑speed pump for optimal efficiency and pressure delivery.

Positive Displacement Pumps

Types: Gear pumps, diaphragm pumps, and screw pumps.
Use Case: Oil & gas, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
Gearbox Role: Provides low‑speed, high‑torque output for accurate volume control and consistent flow.

Metering Pumps

Use Case: Chemical dosing, pH control, and water treatment.
Gearbox Role: Ensures precise speed control for accurate dosing, often using variable‑speed gear motors.

Hydraulic Pump Drives

Use Case: Mobile machinery and industrial presses.
Gearbox Role: Transfers power from electric or diesel motors to hydraulic pumps at the correct torque and speed.

Slurry & Sewage Pumps

Use Case: Mining, wastewater treatment, and dredging applications.
Gearbox Role: Handles high torque for thick, viscous media while protecting motors from overload.

Vacuum Pumps

Use Case: Chemical processing, packaging, and drying systems.
Gearbox Role: Controls rotational speed to maintain vacuum efficiency and protect motor components.
