Classification and Types of Speed Reducers?
1 Answers
Speed reducers can be divided into two major categories based on their application: general-purpose speed reducers and special-purpose speed reducers. Below is an introduction to the types of speed reducers: 1. Cylindrical gear reducer: Cylindrical gear reducers come in single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage configurations, with arrangements such as expansion type, split type, and coaxial type. 2. Bevel gear reducer: Bevel gear reducers are suitable for situations where the input and output shafts intersect. 3. Worm gear reducer: Primarily used for transmission ratios i>10, they offer a compact structure for larger transmission ratios. The drawback is lower efficiency, with the Archimedes worm gear reducer being widely used currently.
