16mm Planetary Gear Motor

♦ Basic Info:

Model: IND-16GMPC16, this Ø16mm planetary gear motor uses a metal gearbox with machine-processed gears for applications requiring stable torque output and repeatable mechanical fit. It supports a 1–14V DC operating range with multiple body lengths and ratio families to match different packaging and duty-cycle requirements.

♦ Key Features:

  • Metal planetary gearbox, machined processing method: designed for consistent gear mesh and durable transmission under compact mounting constraints.
  • Wide configuration window for OEM builds: selectable rated voltages (3V / 6V / 9V / 12V) and body length options 15–55mm to balance envelope and operating margin.
  • Multi-stage ratios for speed/torque matching: ratio families from 4:1 up to 1296:1 (see gearbox sheet); shaft style/length, wiring/connectors and encoder integration can be configured.

Typical Applications

 

This 16mm planetary gear motor is commonly specified for compact mechanisms where controlled output speed and stable torque are required, including cleaning equipment actuators, personal care devices, home appliances, medical devices, security equipment, and light industrial tools.

For mechanisms with hard end-stops or frequent start/stop cycles, current limiting is recommended to avoid extended operation near stall torque.

 

Selection Notes (How to Specify the Correct Version)

To shorten sampling time and avoid mis-selection, please provide:

Target output speed (rpm) and required output torque (g·cm or mN·m)
Supply voltage range and any current limit
Duty cycle (on/off time per cycle) and operating temperature
Load type (steady / shock load / end-stop)
Output shaft requirement (preferred: drawing + tolerance)
We will recommend motor length + ratio stage and confirm a working point aligned to your load profile.

 

FAQs

 

Q1. What does “machine-processed” mean on this 16mm planetary gear motor?

It indicates the gearbox components are produced using machining-based processing methods to achieve controlled geometry and repeatable fit. This is typically specified when consistent assembly and stable gear mesh are required in production builds.

Q2. How do I choose the ratio (e.g., 4, 16, 256, 1026) and gearbox stages?

Lower ratios are used for higher output speed, while higher ratios are used for lower speed and higher torque demand. Use your target rpm/torque and duty cycle as the selection input; we can recommend a suitable stage/ratio based on your working point.

Q3. Can you customize the shaft, wiring, connector, or add an encoder?

Yes. Shaft geometry, lead length, connector/terminal type, wire exit direction, and encoder integration can be configured for sampling and mass production (subject to space and performance requirements).
