What types of reducers are there?

1. Worm gear reducer: It has a reverse self-locking function and can have a larger reduction ratio. The input shaft and the output shaft are not on the same axis or on the same plane; it is large in size, has low transmission efficiency and low precision. .

2. Harmonic reducer: Harmonic transmission uses the controllable elastic deformation of flexible components to transmit motion and power. It is small in size and highly precise. The disadvantage is that the flexspline has limited life, is not impact resistant, and is less rigid than metal parts. Difference. The input speed cannot be too high.

3. Planetary reducer: compact structure, small return clearance, high precision, long service life, and the rated output torque can be very large.
