Reducer

A reducer is a widely – used mechanical device. It consists of gears or other transmission parts in a housing, reducing the rotational speed of a power source while increasing torque through gear meshing.

There are several types. Spur gear reducers are simple and efficient for stable loads; helical gear reducers run more smoothly and can handle heavier loads; worm gear reducers offer high reduction ratios but have lower efficiency.

Reducers are applied in various fields. In industrial machinery, they match motor output to equipment needs. In the automotive industry, they adjust power transmission for different driving conditions. In robotics, they control joint movements precisely.

Their key advantages include flexible speed – torque adjustment, high load – bearing capacity, and often a compact design, making them essential for many mechanical systems.
