First of all, it is important to clarify that AC gear motors do not directly have the concept of "gear ratio" because the gear ratio refers to the ratio of the number of teeth of two meshing gears in a gear system, which is used to determine the output torque and speed. However, when AC motors are used in combination with gear transmission systems, the gear ratio becomes crucial.
AC motors, as a power source widely used in industry, household appliances and automation equipment, usually need to adjust their output speed and torque according to specific applications. To achieve this goal, AC motors are often connected to gearboxes, reducers or other transmission mechanisms. These transmission mechanisms contain gears with different numbers of teeth, which transmit power and change the output speed and torque through the meshing of gears.
In this case, the gear ratio of the system consisting of an AC motor and a gearbox or reducer is the ratio of the number of teeth of the driving gear (usually driven directly by the motor) to the driven gear (output end). This ratio determines the speed and torque characteristics when the motor outputs power to the final working part. For example, a system with a high gear ratio will output a large torque at a low speed, which is suitable for applications that require large torque but low speed, such as cranes and mixers. On the contrary, low gear ratios are suitable for applications that require high speed but low torque, such as machine tool spindles, fans, etc.
Therefore, the "gear ratio" of an AC motor is not an inherent property of the motor itself, but a system characteristic of the motor and transmission mechanism. When designing and selecting a transmission system, it is necessary to accurately calculate and select the appropriate gear ratio based on factors such as the motor's performance parameters (such as speed, torque), load characteristics, and working conditions to ensure that the system can operate efficiently and stably.
