The cycloidal reducer and the gear reducer are two major types of reducers in the reducer family, and they are widely used in various industries. In many situations, these two types of reducers can be interchangeable, such as in the maintenance and care of screw jacks. So, what are the differences between these two, and how to choose? Here Hengdian Reducer will briefly explain for you:
The gear reducer is marked by four major series (R series helical gear hard tooth surface reducer, S series helical gear worm reducer, K series spiral bevel gear reducer, F series parallel shaft helical gear reducer) and has a wide range of applications. The reason lies in that their reducers can be arbitrarily matched, which can meet the needs of many industries. Besides, the transmission efficiency of the gear reducer is high, the operation is stable, the noise is low, it's easy to dismantle and inspect, and easy to install, which are also the reasons for its extensive adoption.
The cycloidal reducer, also known as the cycloidal pinwheel reducer, has a different internal structure from the gear reducer, and it is a kind of transmission device that uses cycloidal pinion meshing. Under the same conditions, this transmission device has a larger carrying torque than the gear reducer, and the volume is relatively smaller, making it more precise.
From the perspective of speed ratio, the speed ratio of the cycloidal reducer is less, not as diverse as the gear reducer. But the carrying torque of the cycloidal reducer is much better than the gear reducer. Many customers who previously chose the gear reducer later switched to the cycloidal reducer due to its superior carrying capacity.
In terms of maintenance, the gear reducer is simpler than the cycloidal one. Because the internal structure of the gear reducer is relatively simpler than the cycloidal one, the subsequent maintenance of the cycloidal reducer tends to be more troublesome.
How to choose the appropriate reducer depends on the usage conditions, and finally, a comprehensive decision should be made. If there are any issues, please contact our company first, obtain technical support, and then consider which type of reducer to choose.
