How to choose between gear reducers and walking reducers? Which is better?

Walking reducers and gear reducers are commonly used transmission devices, and their main difference lies in their different working principles and application scenarios. A walking reducer is a transmission device that combines a motor and a reducer. It uses the reducer to reduce the speed of the motor to the desired output speed and has a reverse self-locking function, allowing the reducer to serve as a base for mechanical equipment. The motor can be directly installed on the reducer, forming an independent base.

A gear reducer is a transmission device that separates the motor from the reducer. It uses the reducer to reduce the speed of the motor to the desired output speed and has a certain overload capacity. Gear reducers can use different lubrication methods, such as oil lubrication or grease lubrication, according to different operating conditions.

Choosing a walking reducer or a gear reducer requires a balance between actual application scenarios and equipment requirements. If higher speed and greater torque are required, a gear reducer can be selected; If better manufacturing accuracy and longer service life are needed, a walking reducer can be chosen.

In summary, choosing a walking reducer or a gear reducer requires careful consideration based on the specific situation, and selecting the most suitable transmission device.
