käigukastimootor

A käigukastimootor, which translates to gearbox motor or transmission motor in English, refers to an electric motor that is integrated with a gearbox. This combination is designed to provide high torque at low rotational speeds. The motor itself generates rotational power, and the gearbox, consisting of a series of gears, reduces this speed while increasing the torque output. This is a common solution for applications where significant mechanical force is required, but the operating speed is relatively slow.

The primary function of a käigukastimootor is to adapt the speed and torque characteristics of an electric motor to the specific demands of a driven mechanism. Electric motors typically operate at high speeds with relatively low torque. Many industrial and consumer applications, however, require low speeds and high torque. The gearbox achieves this by using a train of gears with progressively decreasing rotational speeds and increasing torque.

These motors are widely used in various industries. Examples include conveyor systems, robotic arms, automated machinery, electric bicycles, power tools, and even in some automotive applications for actuating components. The specific ratio of the gearbox determines the final speed and torque output. Käigukastimootorid can be found in both AC and DC configurations, depending on the power source and the application's requirements. The compact integration of the motor and gearbox often results in a space-saving and efficient solution.
