A Direct Current (DC) electric motor is a rotating electrical gadget that converts direct current, of electricity, into mechanical energy. An Inductor (coil) in the DC engine generates a magnetic field that creates rotary movement as DC voltage is applied to its terminal. In the motor can be an iron shaft, wrapped in a coil of wire. This shaft includes two fixed, North and South, magnets on both sides which in turn causes both a repulsive and attractive force, in turn, creating torque. ISL Products designs and manufactures both brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors. We tailor our DC motors size and overall performance to meet up your desired specs.

A gear motor is an all-in-one mixture of a motor and gearbox. The addition of a gear head to a electric motor reduces the velocity while raising the torque output. The most crucial parameters in regards to gear motors are velocity (rpm), torque (lb-in) and efficiency (%). To be able to choose the most suitable gear motor for your application you need to first compute the load, velocity and torque requirements for your application. ISL Products offers a number of Spur Equipment Motors, Planetary Gear Motors and Worm Equipment Motors to meet all application requirements. The majority of our DC motors could be complimented with among our unique gearheads, providing you with an extremely efficient gear motor option.

Motor Selection Process
The electric motor selection process, at the conceptual design phase, could be challenging but our engineers are here to help. We offer a concierge approach to our DC motors and equipment motors projects. Our team of engineers use you to offer the optimal component solution. The next key points will help you determine and select the most appropriate motor or gear electric motor for our application. You can also make use of our DC Engine / Gear Motor Selection Guide to help us narrow down your precise motor/gear motor requirements.
Design Requirements – A design assessment phase where the product development requirements, design parameters, device features, and item optimization are studied.
Design Calculations – Calculations utilized to determine which motor would be the very best solution for your application. Design calculations determine equipment ratio, torque, rotating mass, service element, overhung load, and testing analysis.
Types of DC Motors/Gearmotors – The most common electrical motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. These types of motors are run by immediate current (DC).
Brushed
Brushless (BLDC)
Planetary Gear Motors
Spur Gear Motors
Stepper
Transmission Chain
Servo
Gear heads
Motor Specifications – Once the design calculations are performed, and the application parameters are defined, you may use this data to determine which electric motor or gear motor can best fit your application. Some of the most common specs to consider when selecting 
a motor or equipment motor will be:
Voltage
Current
Power
Torque
RPM
LIFE SPAN / Duty Cycle
Rotation (CW or CCW)
Shaft Diameter and Length
Enclosure Restrictions
