Exploded Diagram of Motor-Housing

The motor-housing is divided into four key components: the Flux Yoke, which enhances magnetic field strength and efficiency; the Motor-Housing itself, providing structural support and protection; the Bearing, ensuring smooth rotational motion by reducing friction; and the Magnet with its Magnet Pin, generating the essential magnetic field required for motor operation. Together, these parts form the foundational structure of a reliable and efficient motor.

The endbell cap houses several important components that contribute to the motor’s function. The Endbell serves as the outer casing, providing structural support. The Bearing ensures smooth rotation of the motor’s shaft by minimizing friction. The Brush Arm and Brush are responsible for transmitting electrical current to the armature. The Arm with Carbon provides the necessary contact points for electrical conductivity. Additionally, the Brush Holder holds the brush in place, and the Terminal connects the motor’s electrical system to external components.

Planetary Gear Motor

The planetary gear motor consists of several essential components that work together to provide efficient power transmission. The Output Shaft is the part that delivers the motor’s output power. The Ring Gear encircles the other gears, while the Sun Gear is the central gear around which the planetary gears rotate. The Planetary Gear is connected to the sun gear and rotates around it, distributing power evenly. The Bracket supports the gears and helps to keep them aligned. The Bushing reduces friction between moving parts, while the Gearbox Plate provides structural integrity to the motor assembly. Lastly, the Pinion works in conjunction with the gears to transfer rotational motion, while the DC Motor drives the entire gear system.
