Parallel-axis helical gear reducers have the core advantages of high transmission efficiency, strong load-bearing capacity, low operating noise, compact structure, and flexible installation methods. The parallel-axis transmission form is suitable for various horizontal and vertical general transmission scenarios. It can meet the basic needs of different industries for speed adjustment and torque amplification. It can also adapt to light to medium load to heavy load conditions, and has become an application in the industrial field. One of the most widely used reducer types, its applications cover almost all industrial transmission scenarios such as general machinery, metallurgy and mining, light industry and textile, logistics and warehousing, construction and building materials, food processing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, new energy, etc. The core application areas and specific adaptation scenarios and equipment are as follows. At the same time, the characteristics of different series (such as standard, high-power, and micro) are combined to match the corresponding working conditions:
1. In the field of general machinery and automation equipment, this is the most basic and extensive application scenario of parallel-axis helical gear reducers. It adapts to various light-medium load, high-precision automated transmission requirements, ranging from micro automation equipment to the main transmission mechanism of general machinery. Mini parallel-axis helical gear reducers are mostly used in small automation equipment, such as precision conveyors, small packaging machines, transmission rollers of electronic equipment production lines, automatic feeders, small elevators, and transmission components of office automation equipment to meet the needs of low noise, small space, and precise speed regulation; the standard type is It is suitable for the core transmission of general machinery, such as various belt conveyors, chain plate conveyors, screw conveyors, and the reduction transmission of mixers, mixers, centrifugal fans, and water pumps. It is also widely used in the feed mechanism and spindle auxiliary transmission of machine tools, adapting to continuous and stable conventional operating conditions.
2. In the field of metallurgy and mining, it is adapted to the transmission needs under medium and heavy loads and harsh working conditions. In this field, the equipment operating load is large and the working conditions are complex (dusty, large vibration). The high-strength gear design and high load-bearing capacity of the parallel-axis helical gear reducer can meet such needs. It is mainly used in roller transmission of metallurgical production lines, auxiliary transmission mechanisms of continuous casting machines, and steel rolling. It is used in the feeding and discharging transmission of machines, as well as belt conveyors, scraper conveyors, bucket elevators, and feeders in mining equipment. It is also used in the auxiliary transmission of ball mills and classifiers in mineral processing equipment. Some high-power heavy-duty parallel-axis helical gear reducers can also be matched with hard-toothed gears to meet the high-torque transmission requirements of heavy equipment in metallurgical mining.
3. In the field of logistics, warehousing and port machinery, it is suitable for high-frequency and continuous transmission needs. Equipment in this field needs to run continuously for a long time, and has high requirements for the reliability and low failure rate of the reducer. The high transmission efficiency of the parallel-axis helical gear reducer can reduce energy consumption. It is suitable for the walking and lifting mechanism of the automated three-dimensional warehouse stacker and the sorting line of the logistics and warehousing. Transmission rollers, belt conveyors, elevators, as well as auxiliary transmission mechanisms (such as trolley walking, grab lifting auxiliary) of container conveyors, bulk belt conveyors, and gantry cranes in ports and terminals. At the same time, among various automated conveying equipment in express sorting centers, micro and standard parallel-axis helical gear reducers have become core transmission components due to their flexible installation.
4. In the field of construction materials and engineering machinery, it is suitable for medium-to-heavy-load and dusty working conditions. Construction and building materials equipment has certain requirements for the impact resistance and sealing performance of the reducer. Parallel-axis helical gear reducers are mainly used in cement conveyors, screw conveyors, powder mixers in building materials production lines, transmission rollers in ceramic tile production lines, and stone processing. Auxiliary transmission of industrial equipment, as well as auxiliary transmission mechanisms of small mixers, mortar pumps, and construction elevators in construction machinery; in supporting equipment of construction machinery, such as auxiliary transportation of excavators and hopper lifting assistance of loaders, heavy-duty parallel-axis helical gear reducers are also used, with sealing structures to adapt to outdoor dusty conditions.
