What is the composition of planetary gear reducer?

Planetary gear reducer is a common mechanical transmission device widely used in various industrial fields. Its classification varies due to factors such as transmission mode, transmission ratio, and structural form. According to different transmission methods, planetary gear reducers can be divided into two types: planetary gear reducers and cycloidal pinwheel reducers.

According to different transmission methods, planetary gear reducers can be divided into two types: planetary gear reducers and cycloidal pinwheel reducers.

A planetary gear reducer is a reduction device achieved through a planetary gear system, which has the characteristics of high transmission efficiency, high load-bearing capacity, and high precision. According to different transmission ratios, planetary gear reducers can be divided into two types: single-stage reducers and multi-stage reducers. The transmission ratio of a single-stage reducer is generally between 10-50, suitable for situations with low speed requirements and high torque; The transmission ratio of multi-stage reducers is generally above 50, suitable for high-speed operation and high precision requirements.

According to the different structural forms, planetary gear reducers can be divided into two types: unit structure planetary reducers and composite structure planetary reducers. The unit structure planetary reducer refers to a structure where each planetary gear is supported by a planetary carrier, which has the advantages of simple processing and low manufacturing cost, but relatively low load-bearing capacity. Composite structure planetary reducer refers to two or more planetary gears sharing a planetary carrier support. This structure has the advantages of strong load-bearing capacity and smooth operation, but it is complex to process and has high manufacturing costs.

In addition, depending on the installation method, planetary gear reducers can also be divided into two types: vertical installation and horizontal installation. Vertical installation is suitable for situations that require bearing vertical loads, such as cranes, elevators, etc; Horizontal installation is suitable for situations that require horizontal loads, such as machine tools, plastic machines, etc.

In summary, the classification of planetary gear reducers varies due to different factors, and users need to choose based on actual needs and operating conditions. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to maintenance and correct operation during use to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.
