Applications of Miniature Motors and Gearboxes in Transportation

Automotive Applications (Internal Systems)

Function: Operate interior vehicle systems where space is limited.
Examples: Power seat actuators, mirror adjustment motors, HVAC blend door actuators, and electric parking brakes.

Drones and Autonomous Vehicles

Function: Control rotor speed, camera gimbals, or steering mechanisms.
Use Case: Miniature gearmotors provide precise control for drone stabilisation, sensor alignment, and autonomous steering systems.

Railway and Aircraft Interiors

Function: Provide motion for seating, tray tables, and shading mechanisms.
Use Case: Business‑class aircraft seating and luxury rail cabin actuation for comfort and usability.

Electric Micromobility Devices

Function: Power lightweight transportation devices such as scooters, e‑skateboards, or robotic delivery units.
