Smoothness and lack of ripple are crucial for the printing of elaborate color images on reusable plastic-type material cups available at fast-food chains. The colour image is made up of millions of tiny ink spots of many colors and shades. The complete cup is printed in one complete (unlike regular color separation where each color is certainly printed separately). The gearheads must function efficiently enough to synchronize ink blankets, printing plates, and glass rollers without presenting any ripple or inaccuracies that may smudge the picture. In this instance, the hybrid gearhead reduces motor shaft runout error, which reduces roughness.
At times a motor’s capability could be limited to the main point where it needs gearing. As servo manufacturers develop more powerful motors that can muscle mass applications through more complicated moves and create higher torques and speeds, these motors need gearheads add up to the task.

Interestingly, no more than a third of the motion control systems in service use gearing at all. There are, of program, good reasons to do so. Using a gearhead with a servo electric motor or using a gearmotor can enable the use of a smaller motor, therefore reducing the machine size and cost. There are three principal advantages of choosing gears, each of which can enable the utilization of smaller sized motors and drives and for that reason lower total servo motor gearbox system price:

Torque multiplication. The gears and quantity of the teeth on each gear create a ratio. If a engine can generate 100 in-pounds of torque, and a 5:1 ratio gear head is mounted on its output, the resulting torque will end up being close to 500 in-lbs.
Whenever a motor is working at 1,000 rpm and a 5:1 ratio gearhead is mounted on it, the speed at the output will be 200 rpm. This speed decrease can improve system overall performance because many motors usually do not operate efficiently at very low rpm. For example, consider a stone-grinding mechanism that requires the motor to perform at 15 rpm. This slow speed makes turning the grinding wheel difficult because the motor tends to cog. The variable resistance of the rock being surface also hinders its ease of turning. By adding a 100:1 gearhead and letting the electric motor run at 1,500 rpm, the motor and gear head provides smooth rotation as the gearhead output provides a more constant force using its output rotating at 15 rpm.
Inertia matching. Servo motors generate more torque in accordance with frame size because of lightweight materials, dense copper windings, and high-energy magnets. The effect is better inertial mismatches between servo motors and the loads they want to control. The use of a gearhead to raised match the inertia of the electric motor to the inertia of the load can enable the use of a smaller electric motor and outcomes in a more responsive system that’s easier to tune.
