In the world of mechanical power transmission, there are a lot of moving parts, and things can get complicated quickly.
Gear Reducer Introduction
A very important part of these systems are gearboxes – compound machines that transfer power from a prime mover to a load. Gear reducers are the primary focus of this article. gear reducer example simplified simplified example of a worm gear reducer, approximating a 50:1 ratio.
Of the six basic, simple machines, gearboxes typically utilize the Wheel and Axle and/or the Screw (worm reducer) to do work more efficiently by gaining a mechanical advantage. Motors are typically designed to operate at a specific “revolutions per minute” or RPM and, while this speed can be adjusted through the use of Variable Frequency Drives, in many cases it is more advantageous to use a set, specific gearing arrangement to adjust that output speed and thereby increasing torque.
For example, if a motor turns at 1800 RPM, and that motor is connected to a 10:1 gear reducer, the reducer will output 180RPM. If that same motor has a full load torque rating of 30 lb.ft., then the output from the 10:1 reducer (assuming an efficiency rating of 85%) will be 255 lb.ft. offering a significant increase in the amount of work that can be done. Common applications of this sort would be conveyors, where throughput capacity requires specific running speeds and increased torque to move materials from one location to another.
How Gear Reducers Work
Gear reducers, or reduction gears, are necessary for high-efficiency machinery operating at elevated speeds. For the speed produced by the machinery to be practical, it has to be reduced to a lower speed to meet the needs of the powered application. The basic construction of a gear reducer consists of a large gear that is positioned with a smaller gear with both gears turning together.
In the case of a single gear reducer where a large gear is connected to a single smaller gear, the smaller gear makes two turns for every one turn of the larger gear. With the multiple turns of the smaller gear, there is greater speed but a loss of torque.
The gear reduction process takes place at preset ratios that meet the characteristics of the input and output gears. A gear reducer achieves the change in energy by changing the ratio of the moving gears.
The products of Gear Reducer
R Series rigid tooth flank foot-mounted helical gear reducer

R series rigid tooth flank helical gear reducers on the characteristics of small size, large transmission torque, high efficiency of transmission, low energy consumption, and superior performance. Designed and manufactured based on a modular portfolio system, these type reducers have abundant combinations with motors, numbers of mounting positions, structure themes, and a finer grade of the transmission ratio, which meet the requirements of various working conditions and realize mechatronics.
The modular cell structure design being adopted which greatly reduced the classification and inventory of parts and thus the delivery cycle is significantly shortened. The reducers’ housing, with ribs, are forged of high rigid cast iron.
