Reducer plays a core transmission role in construction and engineering machinery, achieving efficient and stable operation of equipment by reducing speed and increasing torque. The following is an overview of its key applications and technical features:
一、 Core role and working principle
Reduce speed and increase torque
Construction machinery, such as tower cranes and excavators, require high torque to drive heavy loads, but the motor output is mostly high-speed and low torque. The reducer reduces the motor speed to the required working speed through gear meshing (such as tower crane lifting mechanism), while the torque is proportionally amplified. The formula is: output torque ≈ input torque × reduction ratio × transmission efficiency.
Movement direction control
The worm gear reducer can rotate the motor axially by 90 °, suitable for vertical horizontal transmission scenarios (such as power transmission in construction elevators).
二、 Typical device application scenarios
Tower crane
Function: Control the speed and accuracy of the lifting mechanism (hook lifting), the slewing mechanism (boom rotation), and the amplitude mechanism (boom angle adjustment).
Requirements: High rigidity and impact resistance (such as K series reducers, compatible with 30-200kW motors, capable of carrying 50-150 tons).
Construction elevator
The dedicated reducer adopts a planar secondary enveloping worm drive, with worm hardness ≥ HRC50 and meshing contact surface>70%, forming a dynamic pressure oil film to reduce wear.
Features: Speed ratio of 16:1, rated power of 11kW, environmental adaptability up to -40 ℃~+40 ℃, with reverse self-locking and anti fall function.
Excavators and bulldozers
Excavator: The gearbox converts engine power into bucket digging force, improving fuel efficiency;
Bulldozer: Enhance track thrust to cope with hard geological conditions (such as the R series gearbox, with a torque of up to 18000Nm).
Concrete equipment
The reducer of the mixer truck controls the drum speed (usually ≤ 40rpm) to ensure the uniformity of the concrete; The roller needs to maintain a constant rolling speed to prevent uneven road surfaces
