Selection of reducers
Thread Content
Now there’s another LS500 screw conveyor used to transport materials similar to concrete, with a transfer rate of around 75 T/h. The manufacturer specified an 11 KW motor paired with a cycloidal reducer. I’ve used cycloidal reducers before, and they would get stuck all the time; therefore, I’m always worried that the power might not be sufficient. Is a gear reducer more effective than a cycloidal reducer? But it’s just an intuitive feeling on my part; I’m not familiar with this equipment, so I hope fellow sailors can give me some advice.
Help, why is no one responding? Is it due to low technical content or some other issue?
Regarding the question of whether cycloids or gears are better, under identical conditions cycloids are relatively cheaper and offer a wider range of speed ratios. Gears, on the other hand, provide higher transmission efficiency, a longer lifespan, lower noise levels, and are easier to maintain. In the mixing industry, unless specified otherwise by customers, cycloids are generally chosen for applications requiring moderate speeds, while gears are used for applications that require high speeds.
The material feeding must be even; there should be no blockages.
All the screw conveyors in our factory are equipped with gear reduction boxes
I highly recommend that you choose a gear reducer with hard tooth surfaces
Personally, I think cycloidal reducers are better for low-power applications, though operation requires more stability. If the space is spacious enough, using a gear shift is also an option
Based on my experience, gear reducers are much more durable than cycloidal reducers.

Since your medium is in a semi-fluid state (with a high solid content), the radial force generated is relatively large; therefore, I think using cycloidal gears would be better than gear teeth.
Hello, shouldn’t the resistance be greater for semi-solid substances? Does it seem that the power loss of a cycloid is greater than that of gears? Really? I’m not very familiar with this
