Reduction gearbox: Choosing the appropriate speed reducer

 

A reduction gearbox (speed reducer) is an enclosed system that transmits mechanical energy to the output device. It is used in automation control systems to reduce the power source speed to reach desired output speeds while increasing the torque the input creates. The output gear is more dental than the input gear. The output shaft of a gearbox rotates at a slower rate than the input shaft, multiplying the torque. To recap, they take an input power source and increase the torque while decreasing the speed.




Its Types:
Finding the right speed reducer for your application is essential to ensure performance.

·        Planetary Gearbox: known for their high endurance&accuracy, they are used for applications requiring strong accelerations (robotics) and for slow speed but high torque applications(industrial rotary furnaces). This design uniformly distributes power through the gears enabling this system to achieve a high torque in a small space.

·        Worm Gearbox: used where a high transmission ratio is required. It includes a large diameter worm that interlocks with the teeth on the peripheral area of the gear. They are cheaper,make less noise as they are vibration-free, and are preferred for conveyors&winches.

·        Helical Gearbox: It is compact and uses a low amount of power. Its teeth are cut at an angle to the face of the gear. When two of the teeth start to engage the contact is gradual. It can transmit motion&power between either parallel or right-angle shafts.

·        Bevel gear: They are highly precise&powerful torque converters and used if you need high torque. It interlocks the gear’s beveled edges and transfers the rotation from one to another. Used in high-powered conveyors, mobile machinery.
