Quickness reducers are mechanical gadgets that help drive systems maintain optimal rate and torque for the application. Also known as gearboxes and gear drives, they lower the acceleration of rotation of the insight shaft by a particular ratio and increase the power transmitted to the output shaft by the same ratio. Ratio multipliers increase the speed reduction and torque supplied by a swiftness reducer by a specific ratio and are suitable for parallel setups. Installation bases, torque hands, and flange couplings are components used with velocity reducers. They are often used in applications where the speed reducer will never be directly mounted on the drive mechanism.

Many gearbox designs enable the electric motor to be directly mounted to the reducer. These designs incorporate either extremely specific flanges to allow the motor to be directly plugged into the reducer or additional adapters with integral couplings. This eliminates the necessity for separate mounting of the motor, but is generally only practical with smaller sized motors.

Integrating Speed Reducers
After selection, another issue is the way the gearbox will be built-into the machine. Always check how the gearbox will become mounted and how it will be connected to the driver and driven load because it may differ from machine to machine.

In some applications the amount of backlash, transmission error, torsional rigidity, and instant of inertia are also important. The quantity of torque needed could very well be the most important criteria, as this means the quantity of work the velocity reducer must perform.
