The evolution of motor technology directly affects the agriculture industry, and the development of grain elevators is a prime example of this. With the switch from manually moving heavy sacks of grain to processing loose grains with the help of Falk gear reducers, grain elevators made easy packing, transportation and unloading possible worldwide. The Invention […]

Like all gear reducers, worm gears are used to increase torque while slowing output speed. However, worm gears are unique in that they include a worm—a cylindrical screw that reduces the gear ratio—that is set at a ninety-degree angle to the worm wheel. Overall, worm gears require less space than spur gears. Let’s review the […]

Concentric shaft reducers, also known as inline gear reducers, are unique in that they facilitate installation over a common centerline between the high-speed input shaft and the low-speed output shaft. Concentric shaft reducers thereby solve space restriction and alignment problems of right angle and parallel shaft reducers. Additional advantages of inline gear reducers include their […]
