Steps for selecting a reducer

A reducer is an independent component composed of gear transmission, worm gear transmission, and gear worm gear transmission enclosed in a rigid housing. It is commonly used as a reduction transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine, and is mainly used in the field of industrial machinery. There are many models and types of this device, and it is precisely because of this factor that when purchasing, we must choose the suitable model according to our own working conditions, after all, the performance of different models of equipment is different, and the application fields are also different. Today, let me take you through the steps of selecting a gearbox.

1. Firstly, it is necessary to determine the type of gearbox you choose, whether it has a shaft or not, whether it is a planetary gear or a helical gear, etc. After confirming, proceed with the following choices.
2. Need to know several parameters for selecting a gearbox:
(1) Power: This refers to the power of the motor, which is related to the actual working power. It needs to be calculated first, and the calculation method can be obtained by consulting materials and relevant experience;
(2) Speed: The speed level of the reducer motor is divided into 4 levels, 6 levels, 8 levels, etc. By calculating the required output speed, the speed ratio of the equipment can be determined and the required model can be selected;
(3) Torque: After obtaining the power and speed, the torque of the device can be obtained through a formula, and the corresponding device can be selected based on the torque. If you know any two of the first three parameters, you can get the third one.
3. Through the first two steps, we can now obtain the basic equipment. Next, we need to determine the installation method for deceleration, whether it is flange installation, shaft output, measurement installation, or top installation.
4. Choosing the lubrication method for this device, a general one is sufficient.
The above are the steps to choose a gearbox model. Of course, in addition to selecting the model, there are many other issues to pay attention to when choosing to purchase the equipment, such as quality, which is an important factor. If this is your first purchase, I suggest you seek the help of professional technicians.
