Two Speed Reducers

Two Speed Reducers

(OP)
MASSEY (Mechanical) 12 Feb 09 13:17  
Looking for a gearmotor that will automaticaly switch to slower speed to increase torque when higher torque is required.

Then return to higher speed when lower torque is required.

I assume that amp draw may trigger the speed switch. I have seen these used in applications, but I do not know the make of the drive package or whether it is the motor speed change or the reducer ratio change.

I am assuming it is a reducer ratio change to increase the torque at the slower speed.

Does anyone have any helpful information where I can get more details?

Thanks, I posted it on the forum you suggested.

Will the slower speed motor, yield more torque?
