Note:
  • Performance data shown is typical. More detailed data is available from Beckwith Electronics for each of the above ratings. Ambient operating temperature range: 0 - 40°C.
  • The solid portion of the diagonal line is continuous duty and the dotted line represents momentary operation.
  • At 25°C ambient the max motor winding operating temperature rise is 65°C with motor mounted to a 2.50" x 2.50" x 0.25" aluminum plate.

Brushless DC Gearing Selection Guide
Beckwith Electronics will assist you in the selection of the best gearhead solution for your application.
Some factors to consider in maximizing your application system's performance:
Torque Multiplication        Speed Reduction        Inertia Matching
Radial LoadingAxial LoadingNoise

Spur gearheads will suit most needs in relatively low-torque applications. However, spur configurations have higher backlash and are usually less efficient than planetary types of similar construction. For constant velocity and unidirectional applications where backlash is less of a concern, spur gearheads are ideal. Planetary gearheads are generally specified for their high rated torque and high input speed.

Planetary gearheads are more robust with higher accuracy, lower backlash and longer life than spur gearheads. They are well suited for higher load applications in small packages ranging from nut runners and nut setters to small medical tools, pumps, and other devices.

The gearhead solution (Spur Vs. Planetary) is primarily dependent upon the application. Some factors to be considered in making proper trade-offs between cost and performance are shown below.
