I have a 2.2 KW 24000RPM motor i want to gear to 200RPM. What is the effective torque on the output shaft?

The purpose of gearing a motor is to convert high speed, low torque rotational motion into low speed, high torque rotational motion. In this case, the motor's high speed and low torque output is being converted to a lower speed and higher torque output for a specific application.
The gear ratio is determined by dividing the motor's output speed (24000RPM) by the desired output speed (200RPM). In this case, the gear ratio would be 120:1.
The main factors to consider when selecting gears for this application are the desired gear ratio, the torque and speed requirements of the output shaft, the type and size of the gears, and the efficiency and durability of the gear system.
No, changing the gear ratio will not affect the motor's power output. The power output is determined by the motor's torque and speed, which remain constant regardless of the gear ratio. However, the torque and speed at the output shaft will vary depending on the gear ratio.
Yes, there is a limit to the gear ratio that can be used with this motor. As the gear ratio increases, the torque at the output shaft will increase, but the speed will decrease. However, there is a point where the gear ratio becomes too high and the speed at the output shaft becomes too low to be useful for the application. It is important to consider the gear ratio carefully to ensure the motor and gears are operating within their capabilities.
