Dayton 4Z130 DC gearmotor offers high starting force and accurate variable-speed control in hospital beds, table lifts, wheelchairs and power seats.
Working Mechanism:
- A direct current gearmotor is a rotating electrical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
- The inducting coil inside the DC motor generates a magnetic field that enables rotary motion when DC voltage is applied to its terminal.
- The addition of a gear head to the motor lowers the speed and increases the torque output.
Features:
- Dayton 4Z130 DC gearmotor allows all-position, facebase mounting.
- It features die-cast aluminium housing for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This gearmotor is equipped with a permanent magnet DC motor with a TENV enclosure to protect the motor from dust and airborne contaminants.
- It has ball bearings and heavy gear oil lubrication for low rotational friction.
- This gearmotor comes with needle roller bearings and thrust ball bearings on the case to support axial loads.
Compatible Accessories:
- Dayton 2PUX3 DC Speed Controls: They are ideal for 90VDC permanent magnet motors and gearmotors up to 1/6 HP.
- Dayton 6Z392Pulse Generators: These devices provide square-wave pulses with a frequency proportional to the shaft speed of the unit on which they are mounted.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a DC motor and a DC gear motor?
A. Unlike DC motors, a DC gear motor features mechanical gears to change the speed & torque of the motor.
Q. Does gearing down a motor increase torque?
A. Gear reduction has the counter-effect on torque. The motor's output torque is increased by multiplying the torque with the gear ratio, with some efficiency losses.
