Geared AC motors

Available in 6 wattages, starting at 6 W up to 90 W, Oriental Motor’s V Series Geared AC Motors are priced the same as conventional geared AC Motors, but are said to offer higher torques, longer life, and quieter operation.
By Gretchen Edelbrock, Products Editor

The V Series provides twice the maximum permissible torque of the GN type gearhead and two times the level of the GU type gearhead. Even if the load condition is changed to a level that normally requires a higher amount of gearhead strength, the V Series can accommodate such a change without the need to increase the size of the motor or gearhead.

The use of a larger diameter bearing serves to extend its useful life—up to 10,000 hours.

The V Series utilizes a comprehensive set of noise-reduction technologies: a special tooth-surface machining technology to remove cutting mark of 1 to 2µm from the surface of the motor shaft teeth, an optimized quiet-running design that considers the circular speed of the motor while maintaining its strength and a high-accuracy assembly technology that ensures precision at micro levels.

The motors have a built-in overheat protection device and a protective earth terminal. The motor and gearhead are pre-assembled with dedicated screws so installation is easy. There's no need to worry about the shaft being scratched.
