Speed reducers, often called gear reducers, serve primarily two purposes. One, take the toque created by the power source (input) and multiply it. Second, much as the name implies, reduce the speed of the input so the output is correct. A gear reducer is located between the motor and machinery being used to control the speed with which power is transmitted. So, how does a speed reducer increase the torque while decreasing speed? Gear teeth. The output gear of a speed reducer has more teeth than the input gear. So, while the output gear might rotate more slowly, reducing the speed input, the torque is increased. Simply put, take input power source and increase torque while decreasing speed.
