Mechanical devices that reduce rotational speed and increase torque in robotic arm joints
Technical details and manufacturing context for Reducers
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rated Output Torque | 50–500 N·m | Determines load capacity; higher values for heavy-duty jointsISO 6336 |
| Reduction Ratio | 50–160 | Higher ratio increases torque but reduces speed |
| Backlash | ≤0.1 arcmin | Critical for positioning accuracy; lower is betterISO 1328-1 |
| Rated Input Speed | 2000–6000 rpm | Match with motor speed for optimal performance |
| Efficiency | 85–95 % | Higher efficiency reduces heat generation and energy loss |
| Operating Temperature | -20–80 °C | Outside range may affect lubrication and material properties |
| Protection Class | IP54–IP65 | Higher IP for dusty or wet environmentsIEC 60529 |
| Noise Level | ≤65 dB(A) | Important for human-robot collaborationISO 3744 |
| Service Life | 20000–50000 h | Depends on load and maintenance; longer life reduces downtimeISO 281 |
| Weight | 1.5–15 kg | Affects dynamic performance and payload capacity |
| Mounting Diameter | 50–200 mm | Must match robot joint interface |
| Torsional Stiffness | 10–100 N·m/arcmin | Higher stiffness improves positioning accuracy under load |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The primary function is to convert high-speed, low-torque input from a servo motor into low-speed, high-torque output at the joint, enabling precise positioning and increased payload capacity.
Common gear systems include planetary, harmonic, and cycloidal. Each offers different characteristics in terms of backlash, stiffness, and reduction ratio.
Backlash is the play between gear teeth. Lower backlash is critical for positioning accuracy, as it reduces error in joint movement. High backlash can cause imprecision in tasks like assembly or welding.
Key parameters include rated output torque, reduction ratio, backlash, rated input speed, efficiency, operating temperature, protection class, noise level, service life, weight, mounting diameter, and torsional stiffness. Always verify these values with the manufacturer for your specific application.
