How to determine which transmission mode the gearbox belongs to?

The transmission methods of reducers include gear transmission, worm gear transmission, planetary transmission, etc. They are all different in structure and working principle, so their characteristics and scope of application are also different.

Among them, gear transmission reducers have the characteristics of simple structure, high transmission efficiency, and strong load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for low-speed and high torque applications, such as machine tools, conveyors, etc.

Worm gear transmission reducers have the characteristics of high transmission ratio, smooth transmission, and low noise, and are suitable for high-speed and low torque applications, such as various mechanical transmission devices and construction machinery.

Planetary transmission reducers have the characteristics of compact structure, smooth transmission, and strong load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for high-precision, high torque, and high-speed applications, such as machine tool spindles and industrial robots.

Therefore, to determine which transmission mode the gearbox belongs to, it is necessary to combine the structure, working principle, and characteristics of the gearbox, as well as its actual application scenarios.
