A gearmotor is combination of an electric motor and a gearbox. This makes it a simple, pragmatic solution for high-torque, low-speed applications such as conveyor belts because it combines a motor with a gear reducer system. Gearmotors provide a highly compatible electric motor and gearhead, helping to attain ideal energy efficiency in addition to prolonging equipment life. The Leeson P240 Series - SUB-FHP - IP55 AC Washguard Gearmotor is designed for extended life in applications requiring regular washdown or otherwise wet environments. Permanently sealed with an application of high-quality paint assures consistently tough, water-tight, and chemically-resistant units. Featuring white epoxy-painted motors that prevent rust, and hardened worm-type gearing that is a pragmatic solution for high-torque, low-speed applications like conveyor belts in food processing plants. Output shafts have needle bearings for high load capacities and its interior components are protected against corrosion.
