Application entry points

Start with the motion requirement, then coordinate the delivery.

These are common starting points for a planetary gearmotor discussion. Share the actual load, space, duty cycle, and system constraints so the selection can be verified for your application.

Vehicle motion systems

Tailgate strut actuation

For tailgate strut mechanisms that need controlled opening and closing motion around a 28 mm planetary gearmotor platform.

Selection focus: strut geometry, force and torque profile, travel timing, voltage and electrical architecture, noise conditions, and durability validation.

Automation & robotics

Compact automated mechanisms

For mechanisms where output torque and installation space need to be balanced, from compact actuators to small mobile or handling assemblies.

Selection focus: load inertia, acceleration, duty cycle, output interface, and available envelope.

Discuss an automation application →

Smart devices

Quiet, compact motion systems

For devices that need controlled motion in a limited enclosure and may require coordination of the gearbox, motor, housing, and adjacent components.

Selection focus: noise expectations, power source, packaging, and expected daily operating cycles.

Discuss a device application →

Instruments & equipment

Controlled positioning and drive functions

For equipment teams evaluating a compact planetary motion solution alongside the practical requirements of prototype and production delivery.

Selection focus: repeatability needs, backlash sensitivity, thermal environment, and validation requirements.

Custom programs

A gearmotor is only one part of the build

When the project also requires gears, brackets, plastic parts, electronics, or assembly, KEY-CRON can coordinate the related manufacturing work around the primary motion component.

Selection focus: interfaces between suppliers, sample sequence, quality checkpoints, quantities, and delivery timing.
