How to Install a Planetary Gear Reducer

In gear reducers, planetary gear reducers stand out for their lightweight design, compact size, wide range of transmission ratios, high efficiency, stable operation, low noise, and strong adaptability. As a result, they are widely used in industrial sectors such as metallurgy, mining, lifting and transportation, power generation, energy, building materials, light industry, and transportation. However, before use, it is essential to properly install the planetary reducer. Improper installation could lead to fracture of the reducer’s output shaft, causing unnecessary economic losses for enterprises.

Four Key Tips for Using Gear Reducers

During operation, if you notice any of the following conditions—such as an oil temperature rise exceeding 80℃, an oil-pool temperature exceeding 100℃, or abnormal noises—you should immediately stop using the equipment, investigate the cause, eliminate the fault, and only resume operation after replacing the lubricating oil.

Characteristics and Differences Between Worm Gear Drives and Belt Drives

The characteristics and differences between worm gear drives and belt drives—here’s a summary from Liangchou Reducers. The main differences and characteristics are as follows: Worm gear drives have a higher transmission ratio, while belt drives have a lower one; worm gear drives feature vertical transmission, whereas belt drives involve parallel transmission; worm gear drives have a shorter transmission distance, while belt drives can cover longer distances; worm gear drives have lower efficiency, whereas belt drives are slightly more efficient; structurally, worm gear drives are more complex and thus relatively more expensive.

In which fields can gear reducers be used?

Many mechanical transmission devices in the national economy rely on gear reducers. These industries cover a wide range of product categories, including gear reducers, planetary reducers, harmonic reducers, harmonic-cycloidal reducers, servo reducers, and hard-toothed surface reducers, among others. They also encompass various specialized transmission devices, such as speed-increasing units, speed-regulating devices, and diverse composite transmission systems—including flexible transmission systems. Do you know the service sectors for gear reducer products?

The difference between hard-toothed surface reducers and soft-toothed surface reducers

The gears of a hardened-tooth-surface reducer have a hardness greater than 350 HBs, and both gears feature a hardened tooth surface. This type of gear is commonly used in gear drives that require high load-carrying capacity and compact size.
