Gearmotors: Achieving the perfect match

How do you select a motor and a gearbox (speed reducer) separately, then perfectly match them for your OEM application? Is it better to specify a pre-engineered gearmotor? Does it make a difference?

These are the questions that will be answered in Groschopp’s upcoming webcast. Groschopp engineers Matt Decker and Loren Kamstra will share tips, tricks and techniques for specifying the most efficient and cost-effective choices given a variety of application considerations. Review of actual Case Studies will bring their experiences to life and reinforce your new motor/gearbox/gearmotor knowledge.

Learn how to: 

• Interpret ratings and characteristics of various gearbox types as a “total picture”
• Select the right motor based on the gearbox ratings
• Identify key application and performance characteristics beyond speed, torque and life – such as yield strength, operating speed, mounting position, and loads 
• Avoid common mistakes such as selecting a motor that is too large, miscalculating yield torque, and problems with overheating.

Who should attend:

• Electrical and Mechanical Design Engineers who are in the process of developing applications and/or would like a better understanding of basic motor and gearbox types, and how the right selection impacts achieving the desired results 
• OEMs or OEM suppliers who need an integrated gearmotor or packaged solution to optimize their application.

Webcast Presenters:

Loren Kamstra, Product Manager and Mechanical Design Engineer Matt Decker have almost 20 years of experience in motor, gearmotor and motion system design for world-class OEM applications. During the Q & A portion of the webcast, they will be joined by Ron Didier, VP-Engineering, who will bring in-depth knowledge to attendee questions based on over 30 years of experience in OEM motor, gearmotor and integrated solution design.
