DC Gear Motor is a type of motor that consists of a DC electrical motor and a gearbox that is mounted on the motor shaft. The gearbox allows the motor to provide high torque and low speed.
- The first DC motor was invented by Zenobe Gramme in 1871.
- The first DC gear motor was invented in the 1930s.
- DC gear motors became popular in the mid-20th century with the rise of automation and robotics.

A 12V DC gear motor is a motor that provides high torque and low speed, and runs on 12V DC power. It is commonly used in robotics and automation applications.
A 24V DC gear motor is a motor that provides high torque and low speed, and runs on 24V DC power. It is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
A DC gear motor with encoder is a motor that provides high torque and low speed, and also includes an encoder for position feedback. It is commonly used in robotics and automation applications.
DC gear motors are commonly used in robotics, automation, automotive, and industrial applications where high torque and low speed are required.
A DC motor provides high speed and low torque, while a DC gear motor provides high torque and low speed. The gearbox on a DC gear motor allows it to trade speed for torque.
DC gear motors require minimal maintenance, but the gearbox may need occasional lubrication.
Yes, a DC gear motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of the power supply.
An encoder on a DC gear motor is a sensor that provides position feedback. It allows for precise motor control and is commonly used in robotics and automation applications.
