Description

CM36-555 Planetary Gear Motor — Industrial-Grade Torque for Every Application

When your project demands reliable, high-torque power in a compact package, the CM36-555 Planetary Gear Motor is the workhorse you need. Whether you're an automation engineer, a robotics enthusiast, or a hands-on DIYer tackling heavy-load challenges, this motor delivers consistent performance where it counts most.

The CM36-555 features a robust planetary gearbox paired with a 555-series DC motor, available in both 12V and 24V configurations. Speed options range from 8 RPM to 1600 RPM, with torque output up to 50 kg·cm. The compact form factor — approximately 36 mm gear diameter — makes it easy to integrate into space-constrained builds without sacrificing power.

From conveyor systems and agricultural machinery to CNC equipment and DIY automation rigs, the CM36-555 handles it all. Its precision planetary gear train ensures smooth, low-backlash torque transmission across the full speed range — whether you need slow, powerful rotation for a winch or faster cycling for a packaging line.

✅ Compatible with 12V and 24V DC power supplies. Suitable for industrial automation, robotics, agricultural equipment, automotive testing, CNC machinery, medical devices, packaging systems, and DIY projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 12V and 24V versions?

Both versions use the same CM36-555 planetary gearbox. The 24V variant typically delivers slightly higher efficiency and is better suited for longer wire runs or applications where a 24V power supply is already in use. Torque output is comparable across both voltages at equivalent RPM ratings.

Can I reverse the motor direction?

Yes. The CM36-555 supports both clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation. Simply reverse the polarity of the power supply connections to change direction.

Which RPM variant should I choose for my application?

Lower RPM variants (8–85 RPM) provide higher torque and are ideal for winches, lifting mechanisms, and slow-moving conveyors. Mid-range variants (120–430 RPM) suit general automation and robotics. Higher RPM variants (1200–1600 RPM) are better for applications requiring faster rotation with moderate torque.

Is this motor suitable for continuous 24/7 operation?

Yes. The CM36-555 is built with heat-resistant materials and precision planetary gears designed for continuous duty cycle operation, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications running around the clock.

What is the IP rating of this motor?

The CM36-555 is generally rated IP54, providing protection against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction. It is suitable for most indoor industrial environments and light outdoor use.

Can this motor be used in medical or food-grade equipment?

The CM36-555 is commonly used in medical device prototypes and light-duty food processing equipment. For specific compliance requirements (e.g., FDA, CE), please contact us to confirm suitability for your application.

What power supply do I need?

You will need a regulated DC power supply matching your selected voltage (12V or 24V). Ensure the supply can deliver sufficient current for your load — typically 1A–5A depending on the RPM variant and application torque requirements.
