Speed Reducer’s Classifications

Speed reducer is a kind of sophisticated machinery. Its purpose is to reduce the speed and increase torque. It has a wide variety of different models, different types have different uses. According to traditional types, there are gear reducer, worm gear units and planetary gear reducer.According to the type of transmission speed reducer can be divided into monopole reducer and notching reducer. And for gear shape it can be divided into cylindrical gear reducer, bevel gearbox and conical-cylindrical gear reducer. For turning arrange forms it can be divided into the shunt reducer and coaxial reducer. Following are commonly reducer classifications: Planetary cycloid reducer, worm reducer, gear reducer, planetary gear reducer, gear motor. Stepless speed reducer, special purpose harmonic reducer. Precision gearhead combination of enterprise standard reducer, AC gear motor reducer. Sinking reducer, parallel shaft speed reducer, micro DC speed reducer, spur gear box reducer.



Features The main characteristic of the worm gear speed reducer is reverse self-locking function which can provide a greater reduction ratio. The input shaft and the output shaft are not in the same axis or the same plane. But generally it is larger but with lower transmission efficiency and accuracy. Harmonic reducer harmonic drive uses controllable elastic deformation of flexible elements to transmit motion and power. It is in small size but high accuracy. Its disadvantages include drawback is the limited flexspline life, low impact resistance, low rigidity compared with metal pieces, lower Input speed, and so on. Planetary reducer has the advantages like compact structure, small backlash, high accuracy, long service life, large rated output torque. But the price is slightly more expensive. Gear reducer is featured with small size and large torque transmission. Gear reducer is designed and manufactured based on module combination system with a lot of solutions for motor combination, installation, and structure. It has better transmission ratio classification and can meet different use conditions by achieving mechatronics. Gear reducer has higher transmission efficiency, low energy consumption, and superior performance. Cycloid reducer is a machine which uses cycloid needle teeth meshing planetary transmission principle. It is an ideal transmission with many advantages. It’s versatile and can work both positive and negative.
