What is a reducer used for and what is its main function? Firstly, we need to understand what a reducer is, also known as a reducer. The reducer itself cannot generate power and is a mechanical transmission used between the prime mover and the working machine. It is a commonly used transmission equipment in industrial production and has a variety of types and functions, suitable for various types of industrial production. The function of a reducer can be mainly summarized into two types: one is to reduce the speed, and the other is to increase the torque.

1. A reducer, as the name suggests, means to slow down and reduce the speed. So, whose speed is reduced by the reducer? The main object of the reducer is the motor (electric motor), which can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, and its main function is the same. Because in many industrial use scenarios, we cannot fully use the rated speed of the motor, because it is related to other Functional requirement and matching principles. It is necessary to reduce the speed of the motor, and using a reducer is also the most common choice for most customers.

2. The effect of increasing torque,

Motor torque formula: T=9550P/n

T is the torque in N · m, P is the output power in KW, and n is the motor speed in r/min. Therefore, with the output power p unchanged, when the motor speed n decreases, the torque T of the motor will increase

The reducer can increase the output torque of the motor while slowing down, and the torque output ratio is calculated by multiplying the motor output by the reduction ratio. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the rated torque of the reducer and not exceed its rated torque;

The motor reducer transmission system has high work efficiency, low energy consumption, durability, and is widely used. If you have any further information about the reducer products, including planetary reducers, worm gear reducers, cycloidal gear reducers, etc., please contact us.
