An article explains the gear reducer

Gear reducer It refers to a mechanical device that reduces the input speed and increases the output torque through the meshing transmission between the gears. Whether in many fields such as industrial automation, heavy machinery, or the energy industry, there are busy gear reducers behind them.

In this article, Xiaohe will take you to learn more about the types and characteristics of gear reducers.

(1) Planetary gear reducer

Planetary gear reducers are the most common type of gear reducers. In appearance, the planetary gear reducer consists of a central sun gear, multiple planetary wheels and an internal ring gear. The planetary wheel is mounted on a common planetary carrier and meshes with the inner ring gear.

Planetary gear reducers have obvious advantages, including high transmission efficiency, which can generally reach more than 90%, are compact in design and suitable for applications and scenarios with limited space; they have strong load-bearing capacity, high torque density, and stable operation, which are also outstanding advantages of planetary gear reducers.

Planetary gear reducer is also one of Helun Heavy Industry's main products. The planetary gear reducer produced by Helun Heavy Industry uses 20CrMnTi carburizing and quenching and grinding, and has the advantages of multi-tooth shunt load, stable and reliable operation, and high mechanical efficiency. In addition, Helun Helun Heavy Industry's planetary gear reducer also has the advantages of modular design, serialization of specifications, and specialized production, and can replace similar imported reducers.

(2) Worm gear reducer

Worm gear reducer belongs to an emerging type of gear reducer, consisting of worm and worm gear, so it is named worm gear and worm reducer.

Unlike planetary gear reducers, the worm gear reducer drives the worm gear to rotate through the worm. Since the contact between the worm and the worm gear is sliding friction, the advantages of the worm gear reducer mainly include: a large reduction ratio, stable operation, low noise, and a unique self-locking function, which can effectively improve the safety of the equipment.

The worm gear and worm reducer is a type of gear reducer developed by Helong Heavy Industry in recent years. The worm gear and worm reducer of Helong Heavy Industry are carburized and quenched and grinded after teething. The worm gear is made of high-performance alloy bronze, which can maintain long-term wear resistance, high transmission efficiency and long service life. Compared with the same specifications of cylindrical worm gear pair, the load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency are significantly improved. It has mechanical self-locking performance under large speed ratios, which can effectively improve the safety performance of the machinery;

(3) Other gear reducer types

In addition to planetary gear reducers and worm gear reducers, common gear reducers also include parallel shaft gear reducers, bevel gear reducers and harmonic gear reducers. The advantages of these gear reducers are far less prominent than planetary gear reducers and worm gear reducers, so their popularity and application fields are not as good as planetary gear reducers and worm gear reducers.

(4) Application areas

Planetary gear reducers and worm gear reducers can be seen from industrial automation to heavy machinery, from wind turbines in the energy industry to transportation equipment, from lifting equipment to food processing equipment, from textile machinery to printing machinery, etc.

They mesh with gears, staged a wonderful and powerful feast, and became an indispensable role in modern industry and machinery.(Author: SGR, Angie Zhang)
