The Torque of Gear Reducer

Torque refers to the rotational force that is input into a gear reducer and is then transformed into a different force and speed while maintaining the same power level. Gear reducers are designed to decrease the torque from a motor, which scales directly with the reduction in the number of rotations per minute (RPM). This is achieved through gear reducers mounted on either the base or the shaft.

Gears play a crucial role in adjusting torque, either amplifying or diminishing it, based on their size. The gear ratio, which is determined by the relative sizes of the gears, affects the amount of torque produced. This principle is fundamental to the operation of gearboxes.
