Description

A slow motor is an electric motor designed to operate at low rotational speeds (RPM) while delivering adequate torque. Slow motors are ideal for applications where controlled, precise, and gentle motion is required rather than high-speed rotation. Feature Description Speed (RPM) Typically less than 500 RPM Torque Higher torque at low speed Power Varies, often small to medium (e.g., 5W to 50W) Type Often geared DC motors, stepper motors, or AC shaded-pole motors Control May use gearboxes, PWM speed controllers, or stepper drivers Applications Conveyor belts (slow and steady movement) Automatic feeders or dispensers Agricultural machinery (seeders, sprayers) Robotics and automation with precise speed control Turntables and rotating displays Pumps where slow fluid flow is needed
