You may have various doubts about spur gear reducers and helical gear reducers. How to distinguish them and how to choose? Next, we compare these two gear reducers through multiple aspects:
Features of spur gear reducer:
Efficiency: relatively high.
Accuracy: Easy to guarantee.
Manufacturing difficulty: relatively low.
Features of helical gear reducer:
Good meshing performance: smoother transmission and lower noise.
High overlap: stronger load-bearing capacity.
Axial force: There is a certain axial force.
Advantages of helical reducer:
1. Good meshing performance, smooth transmission and low noise.
2. Large overlap and strong load-bearing capacity.
Disadvantages of helical reducer:
1. The manufacturing process is more complex and the cost is higher.
2. Axial force will be generated.
Advantages of spur gear reducer:
1. Simple structure, easy to manufacture and install.
2. Lower cost.
Disadvantages of spur gear reducers:
1. High noise during operation.
2. The load-bearing capacity is relatively weak.
In general, there are mainly differences between the helical teeth and spur teeth of the gear reducer: the helical teeth reducer runs smoothly, because the teeth of the helical gear are gradually meshed, and the impact and noise are less. Strong load-bearing capacity and can withstand greater loads. The spur gear reducer has a simple structure and is relatively easy to manufacture and install. The cost is lower and is generally more economical than the helical reducer.
