What are the classifications of the reducers?

Answer:

Reducer is a relatively precise machine, the purpose of using it is to reduce speed and increase torque. It has many kinds and different models. Different kinds have different uses.There are many kinds of reducers. According to the type of transmission, they can be divided into gear reducer, worm reducer and planetary gear reducer;
According to the transmission series, it can be divided into single-stage and multi-stage reducer;According to the gear shape can be divided into cylindrical gear reducer, cone gear reducer and cone - cylindrical gear reducer;According to the arrangement of transmission, it can be divided into expansion type, split flow type and coaxial type reducer.
Worm gear reducer is the main feature of reverse self-locking function, can have a larger reduction ratio, the input shaft and output shaft is not on the same axis, nor in the same plane. But the general volume is large, the transmission efficiency is not high, the accuracy is not high. Harmonic harmonic drive gear is controlled by the flexible components to transfer elastic deformation and dynamic movement, small volume, high precision, but the disadvantage is the soft wheel limited life, impact resistance, rigidity compared with metal. Input speed can not be too high. Planetary reducer has the advantages of compact structure, small return clearance, high accuracy, long service life, and the rated output torque can be done a great deal. But the price is slightly expensive. Gear reducer has the characteristics of small size and large transmission torque. The gear reducer is designed and manufactured on the basis of modular assembly system. There are a lot of motor combinations, installation forms and structural schemes. The transmission ratio is fine and graded, which meets the different working conditions, and realizes the electromechanical integration. The gear reducer has high transmission efficiency, low energy consumption and excellent performance. The cycloid pinwheel reducer is a kind of drive type which adopts the cycloid gear meshing planetary transmission principle. It is an ideal transmission device. It has many advantages. It is widely used and can be operated reversely.
