Which one is more commonly used, hard tooth surface reducer or soft tooth surface reducer? 2025-12-29
In the overall market, hard-tooth surface reducers are more commonly used, and the segmented scenarios are different. Hard-tooth surface is the mainstream for heavy-duty/industrial core scenarios, while soft-tooth surface is still used in light-load/low-cost simple scenarios. It is divided into six points to clearly sort out: 1. Overall market usage: hard tooth surface rolling properties are more commonly used. In the current industrial reducer market, hard tooth surfaces account for about 55%-60%, soft tooth surfaces only 20%-25%, and the remainder are other types such as planetary and worm gears. The core reason is that under industrial upgrading, heavy load, continuous operation, and high stability requirements have become mainstream, and hard tooth surfaces have stronger adaptability and are gradually replacing soft tooth surfaces. 2. Industrial core scenes: Hardened tooth surfaces are absolutely commonly used as standard in heavy industrial scenarios such as metallurgy, mining, lifting, ports, cement, and chemicals. Hardened tooth surfaces are 100% common choice, almost no soft tooth surface applications. This type of scenario requires 24-hour continuous operation, heavy load impact resistance, and insufficient durability of the soft tooth surface. Use 1-3
