An in-line gear motor is one in which the input and output shafts are coaxial. It can use AC, DC, brushless, synchronous, asynchronous, step-by-step, permanent-magnet or other types of motor. The gear elements may be worm, bevel, helical, planetary, etc. However, since planetary gear (epicyclic) motors are inherently coaxial, they are favored over other, perpendicular, types, which would require the addition of a transfer gear.
In-line gear motors are used wherever it is necessary to have a coaxial arrangement of the input and output shafts.
In-line gear motors can use any gear motor technology, since the determining factor is the relative orientation of the input and output shafts. However, planetary gear models have the advantage of being inherently coaxial.
