What is a reduction drive?

Reducing drive is a device used in many types of engines to shift the speed of rotating components. The original units represented a ball that was mounted around the central case, although the most common type of reduction unit is a planetary device used in most cars. The planetary transmission is equipped with a large central, rotating device with several other smaller gear. The speed from the center device will be transferred to smaller gears that rotate around the central device. The system is known as the planetary system because smaller gears revolves around the center device, just as the planets revolve around the sun. The purpose of this reduction unit is to effectively transfer energy to components without increasing torque, which can damage axles or other components. Many cars containing the drives of the reduction of planetary reduction in the gearbox; Some large trucks will have a similar system in every axle because drivingThe shafts of larger trucks tend to produce so much torque that they can capture the axles. To prevent this, planetary gears are mounted at each end of the axle to power more efficiently. Reducing drive can also be used to increase the amount of torque for each shaft revolution.

Another advantage of the reduction drive system is the efficiency with which torque can be applied. There is much less slope between the rotating axle and any components that rely on the rotation of this axle. "Slop" essentially means a game or excess movement between components that can lead to inefficiency or difficulty in gentle tuning. For example, radio buttons will use the reduction drive system to transmit the button movement to the Radio tuning capacitor. Without a reduction system, it would be very difficult to tune the radio button to get a clear signal on the radio.

SometimesRubber belts use the reduction drive to help transmit torque. The belt will usually bend to work in conjunction with the teeth of the gear, which rotates from the central shaft. The size of the gears will help ensure the transmission of torque and the notch belt will help make this transmission easier because it is wrapped around larger and smaller gears.
