The operating efficiency of worm-gear reducers ranges from 50% to as high as 95%. A number of factors influence efficiency, including ratio, input speed, tooth geometry, and lubrication.

In gear reducers, rotational power gets converted from high speed/low torque to low speed/high torque. And the heat comes from friction in the gearing, bearings, ...

Gear reducers are pivotal in modern mechanical systems where precise motion control, energy efficiency and high torque transmission are imperative. The dynamic performance of these devices governs ...

In this case, the magnetic reducer sees the gear teeth replaced with permanent magnets that repel and attract each other so that "the transmission of couples and forces between the moving parts ...

Smart-Flexwave, based on Nidec’s sensing technology and wave motion gear reducer-related technology, is a smart reducer with a thin, lightweight torque sensor that can be used in the driving parts of ...

A cycloidal gear drive is one of the most mesmerizing reduction gears to watch when it is running, but it’s not all just eye-candy. Cycloidals give decent gearing, are relatively compact and … ...

Over the last few weeks I've built two versions of Cycloidal Drive Reducers, and one Harmonic Drive / Strain Wave Reducer. This video is about testing both using an ODrive and an encoder on the ...

Turvo International chairman Chun-Chang Liu has declared 2025 the "year of the gear reducer," citing strong growth momentum in industrial automation and rising global interest in humanoid robots.
