DGR Electric Cylinders:What are the types of Reducers?

2024 09/10

In the process of using our electric cylinders, we always hear the word Reducer, so why do electric cylinders need a reducer? And how to choose a suitable reducer for our linear actuator? Today Id like to introduce different types of reducer to all of the new learners to help you learn more about the kinds of reducers and when to use it.
 

First of all, Types of Reducer:

Reducer is a kind of deceleration transmission device, generally used for low-speed and high-torque transmission equipment, between the prime mover and the working machine or actuator to match the speed and transfer torque. It has various types, and different classification methods can be divided into different types:

1. As per the type of transmission: it can be divided into gear reducer, worm gear reducer, and planetary gear reducer.

2.As per the number of transmission stages: it can be divided into single-stage reducer and multi-stage reducer.

3.According to the shape of the gear: it can be divided into cylindrical gear reducer, bevel gear reducer.

4.According to the form of transmission arrangement: it can be divided into three kinds of unfolding, shunt type and the same shaft type.

Different types of reducer applications are diverse. We should refer to the demand to choose the right type of reducer, and choose high-quality reducer brand products.

Secondly, how to calculate the reduction ratio of the reducer:

The reduction ratio is the ratio of the rated speed of the motor to the speed of the output shaft of the reducer when using a mechanical reducer. In general, to determine the speed ratio of the reducer, the first thing to do is to figure out the rotational speed of your power machine, and then divide this rotational speed by the rotational speed you need, and then divide this rotational speed by the rotational speed you need.
