Conventional classification and introduction of speed reducers
Reducers can be divided into various types according to their structure and transmission method, including gear reducers, planetary reducers and worm gear reducers. Each type of reducer has its applicable fields and characteristics. Gear Reducer Gearmotors are a common type of speed reducer, mainly composed of gears. The working principle of a gear reducer is to transmit power through gears with different numbers of teeth to realize speed reduction and torque increase. Gearmotors are widely used in industrial production, such as lifting machinery, metallurgical equipment and so on. Gearmotors are characterized by simple structure, high transmission efficiency and high load carrying capacity, but the transmission precision is relatively low. Planetary Reducer Planetary reducer adopts planetary transmission principle, which is composed of sun wheel, planetary wheel and internal gear. Planetary reducer is characterized by compact structure and high torque output, which is suitable for occasions with high requirements on volume and torque. Planetary reducer is widely used in machine tools, industrial automation equipment and other fields. Worm Reducer Worm gear reducer is a commonly used speed reducing machine, which consists of worm gear and worm wheel. Worm gear reducer is characterized by large transmission ratio and smooth transmission, suitable for occasions requiring large transmission ratio and lower speed. Worm gear reducer is widely used in conveying machinery, chemical equipment and so on. Cycloid reducer A cycloid reducer is a type of gear mechanism that provides high reduction ratios with compact design, utilizing cycloidal motion to achieve efficient speed reduction and torque multiplication. Other Reducer Types In addition to the above common types of speed reducers, there are some other speed reducing machines, such as planetary-gear speed reducers, cylindrical gear reducers, etc., which play an important role in different industries and applications. To summarize, speed reducers can be classified into various types…
