A Brushless Motor: Uses electronic commutation, eliminating brush wear and often reducing maintenance requirements.
The best option depends on the application, controller requirements, operating hours and budget.
How do I Choose the Right Groschopp Motor?
Start with four essential application requirements:
- Required output speed in RPM
- Required output torque
- Operating duty cycle
- In-line or right-angle gearbox arrangement
Then confirm the supply voltage, power, mounting dimensions, environmental protection and any braking or control requirements. Groschopp specifically identifies speed, torque, duty cycle and gearbox arrangement as key starting points for motor selection.

Can Groschopp Motors Run in Reverse?
Groschopp, Inc. states that its motors and gearmotors can operate in reverse, but the required method depends on the motor type and wiring configuration. Follow the specific wiring diagram rather than changing connections without checking the manufacturer’s instructions.
