What is a stainless steel gear motor?
A gear motor is a compact unit combining an electric motor and a gearbox. This design enables power transfer, speed reduction, and increased torque, making it ideal for applications requiring precise mechanical movement. At Dertec, we assemble our stainless steel gear motors using AC asynchronous or synchronous motors paired with high-quality gearboxes, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.

How do stainless steel gear motors work?
The working principle of a gear motor is based on the interaction between the electric motor and the gearbox. Here’s how it functions:
- Torque Conversion: The gearbox transmits the motor’s force from the input shaft to the output shaft, converting motor speed into torque.
- Gear Ratio Adjustment: The gear ratio determines how much the motor’s speed is reduced and how much torque is increased. A higher gear ratio means lower speed but greater torque, while a lower gear ratio provides higher speed with less torque.
- Load Adaptability: Depending on the gear ratio and motor type, gear motors can handle light, medium, or heavy loads, making them ideal for continuous or intermittent operation.


Applications for stainless steel gear motors
Our gear motors are trusted in a variety of industries, including:
- Food and Beverage Processing: For mixers, conveyors, and packaging machines.
- Pharmaceutical Production: Ensuring hygiene and reliability in sterile environments.
