What is a Gear Reducer?

How does a gear reducer work?

Reducer is a passive gear transmission mechanism, which combines gears of different sizes and teeth to form a gear system, so it can also be called a gearbox. The motor were reduces the speed and produces output power through the reducer, and provides the corresponding torque to drive a large load structure through the formula calculation, which is the operating principle of the gearbox.

What does a gear reducer consist of?

The reducer is mainly composed of transmission parts and the basic structure can be divided into three parts: (1) gear (worm gear), shaft (worm) and bearing combination (2) shell (3) accessory parts of reducer.

The combination pinion of gear, shaft and bearing is called the gear shaft, and the reducer is composed of several sets of gears of different sizes, which use the same principle to achieve the effect of deceleration. Gears can have different materials and processing methods according to the torque and impact requirements that the reducer should bear.

The casing is an important component of the reducer, it is the base of the transmission parts, and usually has sufficient strength and rigidity. The casing is usually made of cast iron. For heavy-duty or impact-loaded reducers, it can also be made of cast steel. It can also be welded with steel plates when a single piece is produced in small quantities.

The structure of the auxiliary parts of the reducer is to ensure the normal operation of the reducer. In addition to the structural design of the gear, shaft, bearing combination and shell, the installation orientation of the reducer should also be considered to adjust the corresponding oil filling and oil discharge of the reducer. Location.

Applications of a reducer

Reducer products involve food light industry, electric machinery, construction machinery, metallurgical machinery, cement machinery, environmental protection machinery, electronic appliances, road construction machinery, water conservancy machinery, chemical machinery, mining machinery, conveying machinery, building materials machinery, rubber, petroleum machinery And other traditional industries, new industrial fields such as electric vehicles, robots, aerospace, also need more precise reducers.
