With the further development of China's machinery industry, more and more users are using reducers, although the widespread application of reducers in many mechanical equipment has been widely recognized. But there are still many users who are not very familiar with reducers and think that a simple transmission structure can achieve the function of a reducer, but not entirely so. Today, the editor will list the 5 benefits of using a reducer and tell you why you need to use a reducer.
1. Adding a reducer can reduce the moment of inertia.
2. By increasing the torque through a reducer, the input power is increased, which can reduce the power required by the input motor in situations where speed regulation is needed. Generally, motors are expensive, so a reducer is considered.
3. The reducer plays a role in protecting the motor during transmission.
4. When the overload is very high, the gearbox will be damaged first, and the gearbox only needs to be replaced with spare parts to continue using, and the cost is also relatively low.
5. When the gearbox is directly connected to the load for low-speed operation, the motor will definitely increase its output torque current by a lot, which will also have higher requirements for the motor's heat dissipation and insulation. From an energy-saving perspective, it is also not advisable. If a gearbox is used, the impact of these problems can be reduced.
Can you understand why you need to use a gearbox through the introduction of the editor? A gearbox can not only reduce the moment of inertia, but also protect the motor.
