Industrial Spur Gear

Speed ReducerAn industrial spur gear speed reducer is a mechanical device that reduces the speed of a motor or engine by changing the size and/or tooth pitch of a gear set. It is usually used in industrial machinery, such as conveyor systems and other high-torque applications. It uses a combination of toothed wheels, known as “gears”, to transfer power and reduce the speed of the output. The smaller the diameter of the gear, the slower the output speed. The number of teeth determines the gear ratio, which affects the speed of the output and the amount of torque that can be applied. The smaller the ratio, the higher the torque and the slower the output speed.
