The awning gearbox is a broader concept, which includes all devices that use gears for transmission. The main function of the gearbox is to convert the power input and output according to a specific ratio. It is usually composed of a series of gears, including input gears, intermediate gears and output gears, etc., which are used to achieve the speed change and direction change of power transmission. Gearboxes are widely used in conveying equipment, chemical equipment, environmental protection machinery and other fields, with a variety of installation methods such as horizontal, vertical, swing base, torque arm, etc.
The reducer is a special application of the gearbox, and its main function is to reduce the input speed and increase the output torque. The reducer is usually composed of one or more gears, and the speed ratio and torque conversion between the input shaft and the output shaft are realized through the meshing of these gears. Reducers are usually used in occasions that require a large reduction ratio, such as heavy machinery, port machinery, etc.
