Reduction motor manufacturers introduce the product applications of reduction motors

Reduced motors are widely used in mechanical products. According to its usage occasions and fields, its specific functions and functions are mainly as follows:

1. The effect of reducing speed

Reduced motor: As the name suggests, its main function is to reduce the rated speed. Because it involves many other functional requirements and matching principles, we will decelerate the motor. It is a common practice to reduce the motor through deceleration.

2. Increase torque

The geared motor is indeed a wonderful thing. While decelerating, the output torque of the motor can also be increased accordingly. For device developers, this function is like going to JD.com to buy something. Merchants not only offer discounts, but also give you big gift packages. This is not the best of both worlds. Geared motors are such a good thing.

3. Reduce the inertia of the moving mechanism

Anyone who is engaged in the research and development of mechanical structures knows that the motion inertia of equipment is a very annoying thing. If the inertia of a certain motion mechanism is not matched well, the stability, accuracy and life of the motion will be greatly affected, but we cannot infinitely increase the selection of motors with inertia matching, so this time, the reduction motor has made a huge contribution.

In fact, many mechanical structure design engineers easily ignore the problem of inertia matching of kinematic mechanisms, or even never consider this issue. This is a very hidden problem, and even the poor stability of many devices is caused by this problem.

4. Locking mechanism

The reduction motor also has a very important function, which is the locking mechanism, such as the worm gear reduction motor, which has a self-locking function. When its reduction ratio reaches this ratio, the moving mechanism can be almost completely shielded. The reverse impact of the motor even completely locks the movement of the entire mechanism.

Of course, in the eyes of mechanical structure design engineers, many people think that as long as the worm gear reduction motor has a stopping function, this is not the case. Even the worm gear motor needs to reach a reduction ratio with self-locking function.

5. Reduce production costs

Since the reduction motor has the function of reducing the speed and increasing the torque, we can often make it into a "small horse-drawn cart" transmission form and use a low-power motor to achieve greater torque output, thus achieving the purpose of saving costs. However, when using it in this way, you must pay attention to the balance of the two parameters, that is, the balance of torque and speed. Do not decelerate indefinitely, because there is no speed, although you can get a lot of torque, especially in the non-standard automation industry. Many truss manipulators adopt such a structure. The balance of speed and torque is very important.

6. Optimize mechanical structure design

Many times, because of the use of reduction motors, we can choose motors with lower power, thereby simplifying the design structure of our entire product and making many functional components more compact. This is one of the reasons why mechanical design engineers are willing to choose to use them.
