Speed reducers are mechanical products that help drive systems maintain optimal velocity and torque for the application. Also called gearboxes and equipment drives, they lower the swiftness of rotation of the input shaft by a certain ratio and boost the power transmitted to the result shaft by the same ratio. Ratio multipliers raise the speed reduction and torque given by a rate reducer by a particular ratio and are suitable for parallel setups. Mounting bases, torque hands, and flange couplings are components used with swiftness reducers. They are often used in applications where the speed reducer will not be directly attached to the drive mechanism.

Many gearbox designs enable the motor to be directly mounted to the reducer. These designs incorporate either extremely specific flanges to allow the electric motor to be directly plugged into the reducer or various other adapters with integral couplings. This eliminates the necessity for individual mounting of the electric motor, but is usually only practical with smaller sized motors.

Integrating Speed Reducers
After selection, another issue is how the gearbox will be integrated into the machine. Check the way the gearbox will become mounted and how it’ll be connected to the driver and driven load because it may differ from machine to machine.

In some applications the amount of backlash, transmission error, torsional rigidity, and second of inertia are also important. The amount of torque needed could very well be the most important criteria, as this translates to the amount of work the acceleration reducer must perform.
