A Direct Current (DC) electric motor is a rotating electrical device that converts direct current, of electrical energy, into mechanical energy. An Inductor (coil) within the DC electric motor produces a magnetic field that creates rotary movement as DC voltage can be applied to its terminal. In the motor can be an iron shaft, wrapped in a coil of wire. This shaft includes two fixed, North and Southern, magnets on both sides which in turn causes both a repulsive and attractive force, in turn, making torque. ISL Products designs and manufactures both brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors. We tailor our DC motors size and performance to meet your desired specs.

A gear motor is an all-in-one mixture of a electric motor and gearbox. The addition of a gear head to a engine reduces the rate while raising the torque output. The most important parameters when it comes to equipment motors are acceleration (rpm), torque (lb-in) and efficiency (%). In order to choose the the most suitable gear electric motor for your application you need to first compute the load, rate and torque requirements for your application. ISL Products offers a variety of Spur Equipment Motors, Planetary Gear Motors and Worm Gear Motors to meet up all application requirements. Most of our DC motors can be complimented with one of our unique gearheads, providing you with a highly efficient gear motor answer.

Motor Selection Process
The electric motor selection process, at the conceptual design phase, can be challenging but our engineers are here to greatly help. We offer a concierge approach to all of our DC motors and equipment motors projects. Our team of engineers work with you to offer the perfect component solution. The following key points can help you determine and choose the most likely motor or gear engine for our program. You can also make use of our DC Engine / Gear Motor Selection Instruction to help us narrow down your specific motor/gear motor requirements.

Design Requirements – A design assessment phase where in fact the product development requirements, design parameters, device features, and product optimization are studied.
Style Calculations – Calculations used to determine which motor will be the best solution for the application. Design calculations determine equipment ratio, torque, rotating mass, service aspect, overhung load, and examining Auto Chain analysis.
Types of DC Motors/Gearmotors – The most common electrical motors convert electricity to mechanical energy. These kinds of motors are driven by immediate current (DC).
Brushed
Brushless (BLDC)
Planetary Gear Motors
Spur Gear Motors
Stepper
Coreless & Coreless Brushless
Servo
Gear heads
Motor Specifications – Once the design calculations are performed, and the application form parameters are defined, you may use this data to determine which engine or gear motor will certainly best fit your application. Some of the most common specifications to consider when choosing a motor or gear motor would be:
Voltage
Current
Power
Torque
RPM
Life Expectancy / Duty Cycle
Rotation (CW or CCW)
Shaft Diameter and Length
Enclosure Restrictions
