High-torque reducer

High-torque mechanical reducer

A high-torque reducer is a mechanical device designed to reduce the speed of rotation while increasing the output torque of a motor. These gearboxes are used in applications where high rotational force (torque) is required to move or handle heavy loads.

The mechanical reducer modifies the speed and/or torque ratio between the input and output axes of a mechanism.

Main components of a high-torque reducer

Gears

Gears are the main transmission elements in a gearbox. Different types of gears can be used.

Worm gears

Worm gears provide high reduction ratios and can generate high torques.

Planetary gears

Planetary gears are efficient and compact, offering high reduction ratios with high torque capacity.

Spur or helical gears

Spur or helical gears are used in gearboxes for applications requiring high torque and moderate speed reduction.

Input shaft

Connected to the motor, this shaft transmits speed and power to the gearbox.

Output shaft

The output shaft delivers the increased torque and reduced speed to the load or mechanism to be driven.

Housing

A protective casing houses the gears and other components, ensuring their correct alignment and protection from external elements.

How a high-torque reducer works

Speed reduction

The reducer uses gear combinations to reduce the motor's rotational speed. Each reduction stage progressively lowers the speed.

Torque increase

By reducing speed, the reducer proportionally increases torque at the output. This increase in torque makes it possible to move or handle heavier loads with the same input power.

High-torque reducer applications

A high-torque reducer is essential for applications requiring high rotational force and precise motion control, enabling the motor's power to be transformed into torque that can be used to move or handle heavy loads efficiently and reliably.
