What is the function and working principle of the reduction motor?

The main function of the gear reduction motor is to reduce the speed, increase the output torque, and reduce the inertia of the load. The working principle is that when the output speed of the motor is input from the driving shaft, it drives the pinion to rotate, and the pinion drives the large gear to move. The large gear has more teeth than the small gear, and the large gear rotates slower than the small gear. The output shaft (output shaft) plays the role of output deceleration. Gear transmission at all levels is used to achieve the purpose of deceleration and meet work needs.

1. The reduction motor is composed of gear pairs at various levels. If a gear with a small number of teeth is used to drive a large gear, mechanical deceleration can be achieved. If a multi-stage transmission structure is adopted, the deceleration effect of the machine can be greatly improved.

2. The reduction motor is an independently enclosed transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine. This is a relatively sophisticated machine. The purpose of using it is to reduce speed and increase torque. It has many models, different types have different uses, and are widely used in modern machinery.

3. Reduced motors are generally used for low-speed and high-torque transmission equipment. The power of the electric motor, internal combustion engine or operation is reduced by the small gear on the input shaft of the reduction motor meshing with the large gear on the output shaft.
