Geared motors are one of the most popular gear drive designs. They are distinguished by modularity, compact design, an excellent cost-performance ratio and a variety of application orientated mounting positions.

In paraxial design, helical, parallel shaft and planetary geared motors are the most popular. They are characterized by 1-3 stage designs and high efficiencies. While the helical geared motor is the standard paraxial design, the parallel shaft helical geared motor is ideal for restricted mounting positions. Right-angle geared motors are available as helical-bevel and helical-worm geared motors. While the helical-bevel geared motor is an energy efficient solution, the helical-worm geared motor features high ratios in one stage with extremely low-noise operation.
