Parallel Shaft Gearmotors

Parallel Shaft Gearmotors

Parallel shaft gearmotors are fundamental to many industrial processes, balancing power, efficiency, and durability. TelcoMotion’s gearmotors are designed to withstand large, unusual loads, such as an unforeseen resistance to torque, for a period of time.

Many of our gearmotors are housed in precision die-cast aluminum and fixed with hardened steel shafts, which make them highly durable.

Available with AC or DC electric motors, our in-house engineers can customize any number of motion and power transmission solutions to meet our customers’ demands.

Product Features

Spur and helical gearing

TelcoMotion’s parallel shaft gear motors come in various configurations, utilizing spur and helical gearing. Helical gears are known for their quiet, efficient performance and high load capacity, while spur gears are most commonly used as economical gear solutions.

Electric motor

TelcoMotion gearmotors integrate electric motors to enhance efficiency and compactness. Whether powered by an AC or DC electric motor, these gearmotors balance power and energy conservation, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Gear reducer for speed reduction

Clients demand versatility. The gear reducer is a critical component of the parallel shaft gearmotors, responsible for speed reduction. It allows these gearmotors to offer various speeds while maintaining high torque, making them adaptable for various applications.

Parallel Shaft Gearmotors FAQ

Parallel shaft gearmotors are best suited for situations requiring efficient power transmission at high torque and variable speeds. They are commonly used in various industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, packaging, food processing, and agriculture.
The gear reducer within a parallel shaft gearmotor is responsible for speed reduction, enabling these gearmotors to maintain high torque while delivering at different speeds. This functionality makes parallel shaft gearmotors highly adaptable and capable of efficiently meeting the diverse operational needs of many industries.
The most distinguishing feature of parallel shaft gearmotors is the alignment of the input and output shafts. Unlike right-angle gearmotors, where the shafts are at a 90-degree angle, the shafts in parallel shaft gearmotors are on the same axis. This configuration offers its own unique advantages and is suitable for specific applications.
Helical and inline gearmotors each have distinct characteristics and advantages.
  • Helical Geared Motors: These motors feature angled teeth that gradually engage, resulting in smoother and quieter operations than other gear types. They offer high torque capacity, efficiency, and versatility, making them suitable for various applications. For more information, visit: Benefits and Key Features of Helical Geared Motors.
  • Inline Gearmotors: Also known as concentric gear motors, these have a coaxial arrangement of the motor shaft and the output shaft. Inline gear motors are particularly suitable for applications with space constraints. They are commonly used in packaging, conveyors, and robotics industries.
