DC gearmotors provide high torque at low speeds, and are designed for use on unfiltered SCR (Thyristor) rectified AC input. They may also be used with PWM (pulse width modulated) DC variable speed drives or across-the-line applications. DC gearmotors are available in a variety of operating voltages, with parallel or right-angle output shafts.

Motor Features
The voltage used to power a permanent magnet (PM) DC motor is not pure DC. It is derived by rectifying a supplied AC voltage. The resulting DC voltage has a ripple that is related to the frequency of the AC input.
Form factor is the ratio of Irms to Idc and indicates how close the driving voltage is to pure DC. The form factor for a DC battery is 1.0. The higher the form factor is above 1.0, the more it deviates from pure DC.
Form factor should not exceed 1.35 for continuous operation. Half wave rectification is not recommended as it drastically increases form factor.
Operating IronHorse PMDC motors with DC voltages with form factors higher than 1.35 can result in premature brush failure and excessive motor heating.
