What is a gear reducer and how many types are there?

What is gear gear?

Gear reducer (Gear reducer) or warm gear is a device for use in reducing speed. and increase torque To adjust the motor speed and torque to meet the needs of use.

How does a gear reducer work?

The gear reducer is a gear set. with a tare calculation already completed, such as PDA gear reducer number 60, reduction ratio 40: 1, which number 60 means the size of the input shaft used with the motor at size 60 mm and at 40 revolutions of the motor per 1 rotation of the gear. Reduction means that when the motor rotates 40, the reduction gear will rotate 1 rev. If the motor rotates 1,400 rev / min, the reduction gear will rotate 35 rev / min.

How many types of reduction gears are there?

• vertical reduction gear

  Power can be transmitted by joints, couplings, sprockets, chains or belts. There are two types.

  

  1. gear reducer, vertical shaft type, lower input suitable for general use

  

  2. gear reduction, vertical shape, upper input shaft Suitable for lifting or hauling heavy items.

• Horizontal reduction gear

  Power can be transmitted by joints, couplings, sprockets, chains or belts. There are two types.

  

  1. Horizontal reduction gear with an output shaft pointing downward. Suitable for vertical spindle driving, driving from above.

  

  2. The output shaft gear is pointing downward. Suitable for vertical spindle drive applications. drive from below

• flange gear reducer

  It can be directly attached to the motor through the flange. without having to connect through the joint or gear, thus allowing ease of installation and reducing space usage
