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.

The basic function of a gear reducer is to produce a large amount of force for a machine while using as little energy as possible to do so. The gears and shafts that make up the essence of the gear reducer take care of this by way of gear ratios. When used in mechanical systems, gear reducers must be chosen selectively, depending on the characteristics of the gear system. They are also referred to as gear boxes and very basic transmissions. 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. There are a plethora of products on the market today that utilize these speed reducers, including electric pencil sharpeners, watches, farm tractors and go-carts.
