How much impact does the reducer stage have on transmission accuracy and stability? 2025-08-07
The number of stages of reducers has the following impact on transmission accuracy and stability: The impact on transmission accuracy Error transmission and accumulation: Theoretically, the more stages, the longer the transmission chain, the more links of error transmission, and the more likely it is to lead to a decrease in accuracy. Because each stage of gear transmission will have certain manufacturing errors, installation errors, and gear meshing clearance, etc., these errors will gradually accumulate in multi-stage transmission. For example, if the accuracy of a single-stage reducer can be achieved If the error is within 1 arc minute, the accuracy of the two-stage reducer may drop to within 3 arc minutes due to the superposition of errors. Error Average and Compensation: In some high-precision reducer designs, the transmission error can be averaged and compensated by reasonably designing the parameters and accuracy levels of multi-stage gears. For example, when using a multi-stage planetary reducer, by optimizing the distribution of planetary wheels and gear parameters at each level, the errors at each level can be offset to a certain extent, which can improve the transmission accuracy and satisfy the needs of precision machine tools and machinery.
