Gear Reducers
Widely used in metallurgy machinery, mine machinery, robotics, build machinery and other industrial machines, gear reducers are used to minimize power size and total machine size and handle heavy shock loads. Most gear reducers are lightweight and have low consumption while maintaining heavy transmission torque and steady startup.
When used in mechanical systems, gear reducers must be chosen selectively, depending on the characteristics of the gear system. Important considerations include price, weight, size, construction, reduction ratio, and behavioral traits. For optimal performance, gear reducers with lower torque ripple and velocity are ideal, as high speeds and torque ripple can cause excitation for the driven machine system.
Gear reducers are offered with several types of mounting and input/output capabilities. They may also be combined with other reducers in order to meet specific requirements. The predominant types of gear reducers on the market include planetary gear reducers, helical gear reducers, and worm gear reducers. Each gear reducer is designed for specific load and torque capacities.
