Re: Globe Motors

Our team has modified the planetary gearing on these motors for the last two years, as they one of the few motors that you are allowed to modify or remove the gearing.
There is only one bronze bearing which cannot support thrust loads (in and out), but can accept some side loading (like a gear or sprocket) as long as the object is mounted on the transmission output shaft itself.
Overall these motors are great little gearmotors, and I'm very happy to see that the KOP included two this year. They have never quit on us and they do not overheat as much as other motors.
