Plastic Gearbox Motor
A plastic gear motor uses plastic gears instead of metal ones. Plastic planetary gear motors are typically smaller and lighter than metal gear motors, making them suitable for various applications. One benefit is that plastic gear motors are often more affordable than their metal counterparts. They can also be designed for better durability and wear resistance. Additionally, plastic gearbox motors tend to operate more quietly than metal gear motors.
Plastic gear motors provide a budget-friendly, lightweight alternative to metal gear motors. They operate quietly with minimal vibration, making them perfect for noise-sensitive applications. These motors are commonly used in toys, home appliances, automotive systems, and medical devices. With their low cost, durability, and lightweight design, plastic gear motors are ideal for applications requiring precise motor control and an economical solution for power transmission and speed reduction.

Common Gear Motor Designs
Regardless of the chosen gearmotor technology, several standard form factors and design considerations are widely used across different industries. Here are a few examples that can help define your ideal solution.
Exposed Frame

Approximately one-third of our designs feature an exposed structure, mainly when the gearbox frame is square or rectangular in shape.
Sealed Frame

Some gearbox designs are round, which allows for easier coverage of the gears. The primary advantage of this design is that it helps keep debris out.
Fold-Back

If space is limited in length, consider using a fold-back gearbox. Alternatively, a non-concentric offset gearbox shaft could be an option.
Shaft Customizations

Certain applications require specialized shafts. Options such as extended or shortened shafts, d-cuts, keyway cuts, location holes, and threaded shafts can all be accommodated.
Clutches and Braking Mechanisms

Clutches allow the gearbox to be separated from the application, while mechanical brakes can secure the gearbox shaft in a stationary “park” position.
Advanced Motion Control Systems

While precise movement is often required, motion controllers can also play a crucial role in prolonging the lifespan of gear motors by optimizing their operation.
