Gear reducers, also known as gearboxes, gear drives, or speed reducers, are enclosed mechanical devices that use gears to lower the speed and raise the torque of an electric motor. There are a wide variety of different types of gear reducers for specific applications.
Cycloidal gear reducers use eccentric (noncircular) motion to convert input rotation into wobbly, cycloidal motion to achieve speed reduction. Cycloidal gear reducers provide large torque, high-ratio, and significant shock-load capabilities with extreme precision and excellent quality.
Other benefits of cycloidal gear reducers include: rolling instead of sliding contact, very low backlash, quiet operation, low wear, and compact design. Cycloidal gear reducers are used in a wide variety of applications, including indexers, machine tool, robotic positioners, antenna drives, robot axes, pan & tilt systems, tool changers, paper manufacturing, rack and pinion, printing, semiconductor, food processing, bottle manufacturing, automotive, and tire manufacturing.
DAC Worldwide’s Cycloidal Gear Reducer Dissectible (205-170) is one of an extensive series of actual industrial gear reducer dissectibles for use in hands-on mechanical drives training in either the classroom or the laboratory.
Each dissectible consists of a real piece of industrial equipment that has been cleaned, restored, repainted, and mounted on a modular, heavy-gauge, formed-steel baseplate. It can also be mounted on a compatible DAC Worldwide bench, workstation, or storage product.
All primary functional features are retained, and replacement hardware is provided where necessary. The dissectible provides learners with realistic, hands-on experience with the detailed disassembly, inspection, and assembly of a cycloidal gear reducer commonly encountered in industry.
Technical training is most effective when learners can gain hands-on practice with industry-standard components they’ll encounter on the job. The dissectible features a carefully restored, industrial cycloidal gear reducer to provide learners with a realistic training experience that will build skills that translate easily to the workplace.
The Cycloidal Gear Reducer Dissectible is a sturdy unit mounted on a 7-gauge, formed-steel baseplate with provision for bench-top, workstation, or storage rack mounting. Where necessary, it has been painted with a highly durable urethane coating. An applicable installation and maintenance manual from the original manufacturer is also included with each dissectible.
The Cycloidal Gear Reducer Dissectible can be customized with available options to create a training system that matches a particular industry’s or user’s specific needs. For example, available options for this dissectible include: an IPT Industrial Trades Training Manual or Handbook and an Electromechanical Workstation.
The dissectible features a carefully restored, industrial shaft mounted, hollow-shaft helical gear reducer to provide learners with a realistic training experience
DAC Worldwide’s Mechanical Speed Variator Dissectible (205-190) provides students with realistic training that will build industrial skills hands-on.
The Planetary Gear Reducer Dissectible is a sturdy unit mounted on a 7-gauge, formed-steel baseplate with provision for bench-top, workstation, or storage rack mounting.
