Smoothness and lack of ripple are essential for the printing of elaborate color images on reusable plastic-type material cups offered by fast-food chains. The color image comprises of an incredible number of tiny ink dots of many servo gear reducer shades and shades. The complete glass is printed in a single pass (unlike regular color separation where each color is usually published separately). The gearheads must operate smoothly enough to synchronize ink blankets, printing plates, and glass rollers without introducing any ripple or inaccuracies that may smudge the picture. In this case, the hybrid gearhead decreases motor shaft runout mistake, which reduces roughness.
Sometimes a motor’s capability could be limited to the stage where it needs gearing. As servo producers develop more powerful motors that can muscles applications through more complicated moves and produce higher torques and speeds, these motors require gearheads equal to the task.

Interestingly, only about a third of the motion control systems operating use gearing at all. There are, of course, good reasons to do therefore. Utilizing a gearhead with a servo motor or using a gearmotor can enable the usage of a smaller motor, therefore reducing the system size and price. There are three principal advantages of going with gears, each of which can enable the use of smaller motors and drives and therefore lower total system price:

Torque multiplication. The gears and number of the teeth on each gear make a ratio. If a electric motor can generate 100 in-pounds of torque, and a 5:1 ratio equipment head is mounted on its output, the resulting torque will end up being close to 500 in-lbs.
When a motor is working at 1,000 rpm and a 5:1 ratio gearhead is mounted on it, the speed at the output will be 200 rpm. This speed decrease can improve system efficiency because many motors usually do not operate efficiently at suprisingly low rpm. For example, look at a stone-grinding mechanism that will require the motor to perform at 15 rpm. This slow speed makes turning the grinding wheel hard because the motor will cog. The variable resistance of the stone being ground also hinders its simple turning. With the addition of a 100:1 gearhead and letting the motor run at 1,500 rpm, the electric motor and gear mind provides smooth rotation as the gearhead output provides a more constant drive with its output rotating at 15 rpm.
Inertia matching. Servo motors generate more torque relative to frame size thanks to lightweight materials, dense copper windings, and high-energy magnets. The result is higher inertial mismatches between servo motors and the loads they want to control. The usage of a gearhead to better match the inertia of the engine to the inertia of the strain can enable the usage of a smaller engine and results in a far more responsive system that is easier to tune.
