Description
Considered the “Big Brother” to the popular IG32 and IG42 series, the IG45-33K Planetary DC Geared Motor is a heavy-duty, ultra-high-torque industrial actuator engineered for demanding automation and robotics applications. Built around a robust 45mm diameter planetary (epicyclic) gearbox with a 33:1 gear ratio, this 24V motor delivers an incredible rated torque of 183 N-cm paired with a dependable 148 RPM rated speed. By omitting built-in encoders, the IG45 series provides exceptional torque density and industrial-grade power at a highly cost-effective price point.
Driven by a reliable brushed permanent magnet DC motor drawing 3.5A rated current, this motor is designed to handle intense mechanical loads with minimal backlash and high transmission efficiency. Every unit undergoes rigorous bench-testing at the warehouse for its extreme pushable limits, ensuring dependable, long-term performance. Whether you are building heavy mobile rovers, industrial automation systems, or high-torque mechanical drive assemblies, the IG45-33K provides unmatched muscle for your build.
Note: Product images are for reference only. The actual product may vary slightly in appearance or dimensions. Additionally, while the rated speed is 148 RPM, the RPM printed on the physical product label typically reflects the no-load speed.
Key Features
- High-Efficiency Planetary Gearbox: Precision metal epicyclic gearing ensures low mechanical backlash, high torque capacity, and smooth power transmission under heavy loads.
- Heavy-Duty 45mm Form Factor: Larger diameter robust housing designed to deliver significantly more power and torque than smaller 32mm and 42mm models.
- Massive Torque Output: Delivers an extraordinary 183 N-cm of rated torque at 148 RPM, making it ideal for heavy-load drive and lifting applications.
- Reversible & Variable Speed: Brushed permanent magnet DC motor supports bidirectional control and easy speed regulation via PWM drivers.
- Industrial Power Delivery: Engineered to sustain continuous operation in demanding environments without requiring complex encoder electronics.
