A reduction gear is an arrangement by which an input speed can be lowered for a requirement of slower output speed, with same or more output torque. Reduction gear assembly consists of a set of rotating gears connected to a wheel work. The high speed incoming motion from the wheel work is transmitted to the set of rotating gears, wherein the motion or torque is changed. The number of gears used in the reduction gear assembly depends on the output speed requirement of the application. The reduction gear assembly is usually known as reduction gear box

There are mainly two types of reduction gears:

• Single reduction gear
• Double reduction gear
