SPUR GEAR MOTOR

Spur Gear Motor

A DC spur gear motor is an electric motor that transmits power from the motor to the output shaft using straight-toothed gears. DC motors with spur gears use gears to transmit power from the motor to the output shaft. The teeth of the gears, which are placed in a straight line, mesh with one another gear to transmit motion and power. 

The DC spur gear motors transfer power from the motor to the output shaft using the same fundamental straight-toothed gearing but it differ in sizes such as 16mm dc gear motor, 25mm dc gear motor, 37mm gear motor, 13mm, 20mm, 2 27mm, 30mm, 32mm, 33mm, 50mm DC gear motors.

How To Increase Torque of DC Spur Gear Motor?

As you may already be aware, a torque is the force that can cause an item to twist. Torque is the force used to spin or twist an object around an axis, such as turning a doorknob. The force you apply and the distance you apply it from the axis determine how much torque is generated. Torque is the amount of force that a Dc motor can generate to turn a shaft. A motor’s ability to generate torque is influenced by a variety of elements, including the amount of current it receives, its size and power, DC motor, Winding of DC motor, magnetic stripe and the gear ratio it has with the load.

To increase the torque of the motor, below are the 3 most efficient ways to increase the torque of a DC spur gear motor: 

1.Changing the gear ratio can increase the torque output of the motor using a big modulus gear. This is because a higher gear ratio results in a higher torque output at the output shaft of the motor which is possible by the addition of a gearbox. Both the gearbox and gear ratio are used by engineers to manipulate the torque of the motor.
