The parallel shaft reducer, or in-line gear reducer, has long been the darling for high-torque industrial jobs, which is why you see so many of them in crushers, conveyor systems, bucket elevators and other mining applications. Maintenance technicians also love them because of their efficient repair-in-place design, which allows for fast repairs and minimal downtime.
Indeed, the parallel shaft reducer is one of the many marvels of engineering we see on a regular basis. For those who are interested in such things – like us – here’s a cool 3D computer animation showing how a parallel shaft reducer is constructed, part-by-part:
