What is the service factor and how do you calculate it?

What does service factor refer to in connection with a gear motor?

It is difficult for a speed reducer to operate under ideal conditions. This is basically due to the external factors acting on it. The service factor help us offering a more realistic power factor.

Analysing this factor will enable us to know the degree of safety speed reducers operate with, and it mostly depends on the daily operation time and all the factors that measure how much a motor can be overloaded under ideal environmental conditions.

Best speed reducers to connect to Arduino

Arduino is a programming language and an open-source board; which is to say, a free software and hardware, with no copyrights of any kind. It has infinite applications, and its limit is people’s imagination. While up till now a more educational model was in use for prototyping or Do-It-Yourself, there is currently an increasing trend of using it in consumer products due...

Linear vs. rotary actuators

Difference between linear and rotary actuators

A linear actuator is a device that turns the rotary motion of a direct current, low-voltage motor into a linear motion. Its output motion is in line with the output shaft itself. This makes it possible to elevate, adjust, tilt, push or pull heavy or hard-to-reach items with just the push of a button. As for rotary actuators, they are those whose output motion is circula...
