Introduction

In mechanical engineering, reducers, mechanisms consisting of gear or worm gears made in the form of a separate unit and serving to transfer power from the engine to the working machine are widely used. The kinematic drive circuit may include, in addition to the gearbox, open gears, chain or belt gear.

The purpose of the reduction gear is to reduce the angular speed and increase the torque of the driven shaft compared to the driving shaft. Mechanisms for increasing angular velocity are made in the form of separate units, called multipliers .

Structurally, the reduction gear consists of a housing (cast), in which transmission elements are placed - shafts, bearings, etc.

The reduction gear is designed either to drive a certain machine, or to a given load (torque on the output shaft) and gear ratio without specifying a specific purpose.

The drive is supposed to be located in a closed, heated, ventilated room equipped with a three-phase AC supply.

Drive to horizontal shaft consists of vertical cylindrical reduction gear connected to electric motor by means of V-belt transmission, and output shaft of reduction gear with drive.
