Is it possible for a planetary reducer to run idly passively?

I’m seeking help from all the experts here: it’s a head-and-tail driven conveyor belt system, and the tail drive doesn’t operate under normal conditions. The tail reducer is directly connected to the tail drum shaft; as the head part rotates passively, the reducer changes from high speed to low speed, with a gear ratio of around 720:1. Is it feasible for the low-speed end of the reducer to rotate passively along with the drum? Would a very large resistance be required for it to start rotating? I really need help – thank you all! ! ! 1
Based on your description, the low-speed end of the reducer is directly connected to the drum, and when the head rotates passively, it is intended to use the passive rotation of the drum to drive the reducer. This passive control method is feasible and can achieve a deceleration function. When the drum is rotating idly, the reducer needs to overcome a certain amount of resistance in order to start rotating. If the resistance experienced by the reducer is low, it may cause the reducer to fail to rotate or operate unstably. Therefore, it is necessary to consider in the design ensuring that the reducer can withstand sufficient resistance to guarantee normal operation. Furthermore, it should be noted that in practical applications, passive control methods may lead to energy loss and can also have an impact on the lifespan of the reducer. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to take into account factors such as system stability, efficiency, and lifespan in order to select an appropriate control method. It is recommended to conduct thorough testing and validation before actual application to ensure the viability and performance of the system. .
I don’t think it can work for long periods of time – the torque exerted by the customer’s system is too high. Additionally, there are issues with lubrication as well. When the high-speed shaft rotates, it drives the motor or coupling to rotate, which inevitably leads to abnormal heating. It would be better to add a manual clutch
