The gearbox and gearmotor are two different devices used in mechanical systems and their basic functions are similar, but they have different components and operating principles.
Reducer
Reducers are power transmission devices that transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another by reducing its speed or increasing its torque. They usually use gear wheels or gears. Gearboxes are separate devices from a motor and transmit the rotary motion provided by the motor more conveniently to other mechanical components. They are suitable for a wide range of applications.
Reducer Motor:
Gearmotors are a single device in which a motor and a reducer are combined. Their basic function is to transmit the motor's rotary motion from one shaft to another by reducing its speed or increasing its torque. Gearmotors optimize the operation of the motor, providing higher torque, lower speed, and precise control. They are often used in specific applications, especially those that require high torque, low speed,d, and precise motion control.
In short, gear motors combine motor and gearbox, while gearboxes are a component used only for power transmission and are separate from the motor.
