Servo gearheads provide mechanical advantage by multiplying motor servo gearhead torque while reducing the driven load’s reflected inertia back again to the motor.

We supplies the widest selection of gear systems providing optimal solutions far beyond the features of other gearhead suppliers.
Do you know why we still make use of today gearboxes while servo motors becoming stronger and more advanced? The gearboxes are used in many cases in mixture with a servo electric motor, for example because they possess low backlash and so are able to deal with high torque. But nonetheless we did not give a remedy to the previous question: why! In this article we discuss the operation of a servo drive and translate this through to the gearboxes.
Technically translated tis methods to follow or execute a command. A servo motor follows the (complex) task given to him.

For industrial applications, servo motors are used where a drive-system has to be accurate or highly dynamic. The opinions to the electric motor is performed through a resolver (analogue sensor of rotation) or encoder (digital sensor of rotation). A servo electric motor is controlled by a servo amplifier, probably with a shaft controller.

The rotation frequency of the actuator is given back by the resolver or encoder. This is capable as well as the rotational swiftness, also to determine the position of the rotor and the direction of rotation. The servo amplifier compares the established rotational frequency with the measured rotational frequency. Right now the servo amplifier can drive the actuator to the required values.
Interesting, AC Servo Motors have no significant disadvantages more! So, why would you utilize a gearbox?
This has the following reasons:

If you want a very low rate, possibly in mixture with an increased torque.
If you need high torque. (Actuators with high torque are available, but they are exponentially more expensive when compared to smaller servomotors)
Inertia matching, to be able to prevent that the load determines the behaviour of the motor.
In order to absorb the high radial or axial forces of the application.
If you would like to go “around the corner” otherwise the servomotor shines the application. Gearboxes can be found in right-angled versions.
Baldor’s GBSM-series of low backlash, servo motor rated gearheads, attach easily and directly onto AC brushless servo motors to supply industrial motion control apparatus with torque multiplication and proper inertial matching. These gearheads are designed for servo applications needing precision, durability, and long trouble-free operation.
