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

We supplies the widest range of gear systems providing optimal solutions significantly beyond the features of various other gearhead suppliers.
Do you know why we still use today gearboxes while servo motors becoming more powerful and more complex? The gearboxes are used in many instances in mixture with a servo electric motor, for instance because they have low backlash and are able to deal with high torque. But still we did not give an answer to the previous question: why! In this article we discuss the procedure of a servo drive and translate this through to the gearboxes.
Technically translated tis means to follow or execute a command. A servo engine follows the (complex) task given to him.

For industrial applications, servo motors are used where a drive-system has to be accurate or highly powerful. The feedback to the motor is done through a resolver (analogue sensor of rotation) or encoder (digital sensor of rotation). A servo engine is controlled by a servo amplifier, possibly with a shaft servo motor and gearbox controller.

The rotation frequency of the actuator is returned by the resolver or encoder. This is capable in addition to the rotational swiftness, also to determine the placement of the rotor and the direction of rotation. The servo amplifier compares the established rotational frequency with the measured rotational frequency. 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 use a gearbox?
This has the following reasons:

If you want a suprisingly low acceleration, possibly in combination with an increased torque.
If you want high torque. (Actuators with high torque are available, however they are exponentially more costly when compared to smaller servomotors)
Inertia matching, to be able to prevent that the strain determines the behaviour of the engine.
To be able to absorb the high radial or axial forces of the application.
If you want to go “nearby” otherwise the servomotor sticks out the application. Gearboxes are available in right-angled versions.
Baldor’s GBSM-series of low backlash, servo engine rated gearheads, mount easily and directly onto AC brushless servo motors to supply industrial motion control gear with torque multiplication and proper inertial matching. These gearheads are created for servo applications needing precision, durability, and lengthy trouble-free operation.
