Description
Considered the “Big Brother” to the popular IG32 and IG42 series, the IG45-14K Planetary DC Geared Motor is a heavy-duty, high-power industrial actuator engineered for demanding automation and robotics applications. Featuring a robust 45mm diameter planetary (epicyclic) gearbox with a 14:1 gear ratio, this 24V motor delivers an impressive rated torque of 78 N-cm (with a massive stall torque up to 40 kg-cm) at a rated speed of 350 RPM. 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 (12.42A stall) with a 49.5W power rating, this motor is designed to handle extreme 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 IG45-14K 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 350 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.
- High-Torque Performance: Delivers 78 N-cm of rated torque and an incredible 40 kg-cm stall torque capability at 24V.
- Reversible & Variable Speed: Brushed permanent magnet DC motor supports bidirectional control and easy speed regulation via PWM drivers.
- Industrial Power Delivery: Outputs 49.5W of rated power to sustain continuous operation in demanding environments.
Benefits
- Exceptional Cost-to-Torque Value: Delivers heavy-duty industrial performance without the added cost of integrated encoder feedback.
- Reliable Under Extreme Stress: Robust all-metal internal gearing distributes mechanical forces evenly, preventing premature gear wear or stripping.
- Versatile 24V Operation: Easily integrates with standard heavy-duty motor controllers, robot drivers, and 24V power supply systems.
