- The shaft is aligned parallel to the motor body
- Constructed with durable metal gears for extended service life
- Low heat generation
- Small footprint with high torque output
The DC 12V Flat Spur Gear Motor, 5RPM Parallel Shaft Gear Motor is a type of gear motor which uses gears to achieve speed reduction. It is referred to as a parallel shaft gear motor as the motor shaft and the speed reducer shaft are on parallel planes, allowing for a compact design. This makes them ideal for applications where space is limited, such as stirrers for liquid mixing processes.
The advantages of the parallel shaft gear motors include: a compact design which reduces space and weight compared to coaxial shaft gear motors; a power rating of up to 200 kW and a nominal torque for the speed reducer of up to 20,000 Nm; the ability to withstand high torque and radial forces; and low vibration, resulting in low noise levels.
