In the Selection process of some customers, the user only provides a motor power and no other parameters. In this case, which reducer should be selected?Because there are no parameter requirements, there may be many types of reducers that can match the same motor power, such as gear type or worm gear type.What confuses users is whether a gear reducer or a worm gear reducer is better.In the process of use, different reducers are used differently.So gear reducers and worm gear reducers are more commonly used now.But there are big differences between these two reducers.
1. Internal structure.The direct difference between the two different reducers is their internal structure.As for the gear reducer, the transmission structure inside is geared.As for the worm gear reducer, it may be a helical gear or a worm gear.Different forms will also directly affect efficiency.
2. Efficiency.Two reducers with different internal structures have a direct impact on their efficiency.If a gear reducer is used, the efficiency can reach about 95% no matter what kind of motor is matched.If a worm gear reducer is used, the highest transmission efficiency that can be achieved is only 80%.Therefore, if high efficiency and energy saving are required, then it is more appropriate to choose a gear reducer.
3. The matching motor range is different.There is also a difference in the range of matching motors between gear reducers and worm gear reducers.The power of the motor that can be matched in the worm gear reducer is below 37KW.The gear reducer can match the motor power up to 200KW.Which one you choose in this process depends on how big your motor is.
4. Self-locking.A big difference between the two is whether it has self-locking.Worm gear reducers have self-locking functions, while gear reducers do not have self-locking functions. Look at the usage environment. If the usage environment requires self-locking, then choose a worm gear reducer at this time.
