Why do motors need to be geared and what is the function of a geared motor?

A reduction motor, which is actually a power transmission mechanism, does not produce power itself. Its function is to use different gear sizes and speed converters to decelerate the number of rotations of the motor (motor) to the desired number of rotations and to obtain a greater torque. Is it bad to adjust the motor speed? In fact, the motor is directly connected to the equipment. When the equipment is running, the load on the motor is very high, which causes a lot of damage to the motor. It is not the same after a reduction motor. For example, for a geared motor with a reduction ratio of 100, the rpm ratio of the geared motor = input rpm/output rpm. If the rpm ratio is 100, the output torque is about 100 times of the input torque. (The speed slows down and the torque increases.) The load on the motor when the machine is running is only 1%. And when the gear motor is broken, only the gears need to be replaced, the cost is much lower than the motor.
