Comparison of the characteristics of various reducers

Experts teach you the advantages and disadvantages of various reducers:
1. The main feature of the worm gear reducer is its reverse self-locking function, and it has a larger reduction ratio compared with other types of gear reducers. The input and output shafts of the worm gear reducer are not on the same axis or even not On the same plane. But it also has its own shortcomings, that is, the transmission efficiency of the worm gear reducer is not high enough, and the accuracy is not very high.
2. The harmonic drive of the harmonic reducer mainly uses the controllable elastic deformation of the flexible element to transmit movement and power. Its volume is small and the accuracy is high, but its disadvantage is the flexible element-the service life of the flexible wheel Limited and not resistant to impact, its rigidity is relatively poor compared with metal parts. Another disadvantage of the harmonic reducer is that its input speed cannot be too high and has certain restrictions.
3. The advantages of the planetary reducer are: the structure is relatively compact, the clearance of the return stroke is smaller, and the accuracy is relatively high. Compared with the harmonic reducer, its use time is longer, and it also has the characteristics of larger output torque. Since its performance is better, its price is slightly more expensive.
