How to choose the suitable RV series model of worm gear reducer

Choosing the appropriate RV series model of worm gear reducer requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. The following are specific points:
load-dependent

Calculate the required torque: comprehensively consider the resistance torque that the equipment needs to overcome during operation. For example, in the application of conveyor belts, the required torque should be calculated based on the length of the conveyor belt, the weight of the loaded goods, the operating speed, etc., to ensure that the selected RV reducer model can meet the torque output requirements and ensure smooth operation of the equipment.

Analyzing load characteristics: If the load is stable, such as a uniformly rotating mixing equipment, the selection can be relatively conventional; If the load impact is high, such as stamping machine tools, it is necessary to choose RV reducer models with strong impact resistance and sturdy structure to ensure that they can work normally and have a long service life when facing large load impacts.

Speed and transmission ratio

Determine output speed requirements: Different industrial applications have different requirements for the output speed of RV reducers. Automated production lines require precise and stable low speeds to complete fine machining; Ventilation equipment requires a relatively high output speed to ensure sufficient air circulation, and RV reducers with appropriate speed ratios should be selected according to actual scene requirements.

Calculate speed ratio: Calculate the speed ratio based on the motor speed and the required output shaft speed. The formula is reduction ratio=motor speed/reducer output shaft speed. Try to choose an RV reducer that is close to the ideal reduction ratio.

Power and efficiency

Consider rated power: Rated power is the mechanical power that the RV reducer can continuously and stably output under rated conditions. To ensure that the rated power of the selected reducer is greater than the actual required power of the equipment, the required input power is generally calculated based on the load torque and speed, with a certain margin left.

Pay attention to transmission efficiency: Efficiency affects energy loss and operating costs. Generally, the single-stage transmission efficiency of RV worm gear reducers is around 70% -90%, and the two-stage transmission efficiency is around 50% -75%. In situations that require long-term operation and are sensitive to energy consumption, models with higher efficiency should be selected.
