Applications of Miniature Motors and Gearboxes in Turntables

Audio Turntables (Record Players)

Application: Drives the platter that spins the vinyl record at a consistent speed (e.g., 33⅓, 45, or 78 RPM).
Why Miniature Motors?:
- Low vibration: Prevents interference with audio playback.
- High precision: Ensures consistent rotational speed and audio fidelity.
- Quiet operation: Minimises mechanical noise for pure sound quality.
Common Motor Types:
- DC motors with gearboxes – for torque and stability.
- Synchronous or stepper motors – for highly accurate speed control.
Gearbox Role:
- Reduces motor speed to achieve exact platter RPM.
- ncreases torque for smooth, stable rotation.

Laboratory or Industrial Turntables

Application: Used in automated sample rotation, inspection and imaging equipment, where compact gear-motor systems provide stable, low-vibration motion for repeatable, high-accuracy performance.

Miniature motors and gearboxes provide smooth, consistent motion in compact, precision‑driven systems.
