In-Line Multiple-Reduction Helical Gear Reducer Cutaway
In-line helical gear reducers have a unique set of benefits. They’re useful in higher horsepower applications where long-term efficiency is more important than initial costs, which can be higher for this type of gear reducer (although in-line reducers are less expensive than parallel shaft reducers). In addition to being highly efficient, in-line helical gear reducers are capable of handling higher overhung loads.
