Series helical gear reducer is a reduction gear device with helical gears as its key transmission component. It converts high-speed, low-torque power sources into low-speed, high-torque outputs, meeting the diverse needs of mechanical equipment.
Helical gear reducers are an indispensable component of modern mechanical transmission systems. Their helical gears, high precision, and high load capacity effectively improve transmission efficiency. Their modular design also allows them to be used in low-power applications.
Two Types of Series Helical Gear Reducers
R Series Helical Gear Reducers: Utilize a coaxial helical gear transmission, with the output shaft and input shaft aligned. They are compact and highly efficient, making them suitable for equipment requiring coaxial transmission.
S Series Helical Gear Reducers: Utilize a helical worm gear transmission, with the output shaft and input shaft aligned at 90 degrees, and feature a self-locking function. This worm gear structure is suitable for applications requiring forward and reverse rotation.
Structural and Performance Differences between R and S Series Helical Gear Reducers
R Series Helical Gear Reducers
- Feature an internal coaxial helical gear transmission, resulting in a simple structure, compact size, and light weight. The gear surface also features a hardened surface treatment, but without the need for a worm gear structure, resulting in a relatively low cost.
- The R series helical gear reducers offer high efficiency, multiple speed ratios, high output torque, and easy installation.
- The R series is primarily used in industries such as metallurgy, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals that require high-precision coaxial transmission, such as mixing equipment and conveying systems.
S Series Helical Gear Reducers
- The S series helical gear reducers feature a worm gear combination internal structure, offering higher transmission efficiency and high load capacity, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- The hardened gears, with a carburized and quenched surface treatment, offer superior wear resistance and lifespan compared to ordinary helical gears.
- The S series helical gear reducers feature the self-locking properties of worm gear reducers and a two-stage reduction transmission. They offer high transmission precision, low backlash, and adaptability to frequent starts and temperature fluctuations.
- The S series is suitable for applications requiring high torque and self-locking features, such as tower cranes and elevators, in hoisting machinery, mining equipment, and construction machinery.
Conclusion
The R series offers coaxial transmission and low cost advantages for light loads, while the S series utilizes a worm gear self-locking structure and hardened tooth surface technology to meet heavy load and self-locking requirements. When choosing a suitable drive, consider the output mode and power requirements based on the specific operating conditions.
