Application of Micro Gearbox Motors on Electric Tailgates

The tailgate of a business vehicle or SUV is relatively heavy and uses a non-electric mode, which leads to issues such as the tailgate being too heavy to close easily, a large opening angle that makes it difficult for a person to close it, and inconvenience in opening the door when holding too many items. Furthermore, improper operation by users can result in safety accidents caused by being pinched by the tailgate.


The tailgate of a business vehicle or SUV is relatively heavy, using a non-electric mode, which leads to issues such as the tailgate being too heavy to close, a large opening angle that makes it difficult for a person to close it, and inconvenience in opening the door when holding too many items. Moreover, improper operation by users can result in safety accidents caused by being pinched by the tailgate.
As people's demands for the convenience of vehicle functions increase, technology matures, and competition among car manufacturers intensifies, electric tailgates are no longer limited to the top models of various vehicle series. Many manufacturers have already applied electric tailgates to more models.
The structure of the electric tailgate support rod generally consists of an inner tube and an outer tube, where the motor and gear of the inner tube drive a threaded main shaft. This threaded main shaft drives the support rod to extend and retract on a threaded nut fixed to the inner side of the outer tube, thereby opening or closing the tailgate.
Sailent has experienced R&D engineers and uses leading industry Swiss and Japanese eight-axis precision gear cutting equipment, along with 20 years of experience in gearbox production. The tailgate motor is designed with a planetary gear structure, allowing for smooth transmission of motor torque and speed to the screw rod. The noise level during motor operation is very low, further enhancing the motor's performance, enabling it to support larger and heavier tailgates.

Introduction to Micro DC Gear Motors

Introduction to Micro DC Gear Motors   Micro DC gear motors are a miniaturized motor system, typically consisting of a DC motor and a gearbox. Here are some related introductions to micro DC gear motors:   DC Motor Section: Working Principle: The DC motor generates current by moving a conductive coil in a magnetic field, thus producing electromagnetic force to drive the motor's rotation. Structure: Micro DC motors usually adopt a separate structure, including an armature (rotating part) and an electromagnet (stator part). Types: Common types of DC motors include brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors. Brushed DC motors use brushes to connect to the armature, while brushless DC motors control current through an electronic speed controller, eliminating the need for brushes.   Gearbox Section: Function: The gearbox is used to slow down the motor's output speed while increasing torque. This is crucial for applications requiring higher torque and lower speeds, such as robotic arms and camera gimbals. Structure: Gearboxes typically consist of gears that achieve the reduction ratio through different gear combinations. The reduction ratio is the ratio of input speed to output speed. Types: Common types of gearboxes include planetary gears, worm gears, and helical gears. Different types of gearboxes are suitable for different application scenarios.   Applications: Micro DC gear motors are widely used in various fields, including consumer electronics (such as cameras and printers), medical devices, robotics, and automotive electronics. In these applications, micro DC gear motors are typically used to control precise movements, provide sufficient torque, and achieve efficient performance in limited spaces.   Control and Drive: Micro DC gear motors usually require corresponding electronic speed controllers or controllers to precisely control rotation speed and direction. The control system can adjust the motor's output according to application needs, achieving precise position control and speed regulation.   Performance Parameters: The performance parameters of micro DC gear motors include rated voltage, rated speed, rated torque, efficiency, etc. These parameters are crucial for selecting and designing motor systems.   In summary, micro DC gear motors have been widely applied under the trends of miniaturization, precision, and efficiency, providing reliable driving force for many electric devices and systems.
