WPEKA40-70,WPEKA50-80,WPEKA60-100,WPEKA70-120,WPEKA80-135 Hard tooth reducer and soft tooth reducer are two different types of reducers, with the main difference being the material and manufacturing process of the gears. The specific differences are as follows:
Different gear materials: The gear materials of hard tooth surface reducers are generally made of high-strength alloy steel or hard alloy materials, which have high hardness and wear resistance and are suitable for high load and high speed situations; The gear material of soft tooth reducer is generally made of cast iron or die cast aluminum, which has good shock absorption performance and noise reduction effect, and is suitable for low load and low speed situations.
Different manufacturing processes: The gears of hard tooth surface reducers generally use precision machining technology, and the tooth surface hardness and machining accuracy are relatively high; The gears of soft tooth surface reducers are generally cast or die cast, with lower precision in tooth surface machining. However, surface treatment and other methods can be used to improve tooth surface hardness.
Different functions: The hard tooth surface reducer is suitable for high load and high speed situations, with high transmission efficiency and long service life; The soft tooth reducer is suitable for low load and low speed situations, with good shock absorption performance and low noise characteristics.
In summary, there are significant differences between hard tooth surface reducers and soft tooth surface reducers in terms of gear materials, manufacturing processes, functions, etc. Users should choose the appropriate type of reducer according to their actual needs.
Hard tooth surface reducers usually require gear hardness of HRC45~60 or above, otherwise they are soft tooth surface reducers.
