Most engineers recognize that gearheads can be used to create a
better inertia match between the object that is being moved and the
motor being driven. Put simply, it is dictated by the gearhead
ratio...

Gearing is used in only one-third of the motion control systems
currently in service. Gearless system owners take note: using a
gearhead with a servo motor or using an integrated gearmotor can
enable...

Estimates say that only about one-third of the motion control
systems in service use gearing, although there are good reasons for
doing so. For example, when your motion control system must run...
