First, the function and working principle of the splitter
1. Role

A splitter is a mechanical transmission device that is mainly used to divide a rotating shaft into two parts, which is convenient for installation, maintenance and replacement. It is usually installed at the break of the propeller shaft and can be quickly removed and installed.
2. How it works
The splitter consists of two parts, a stator and a rotor. The stator is mounted at both ends of the drive shaft, while the rotor is fixed directly to the shaft. When the propeller shaft needs to be removed or replaced, this can be easily done by simply separating the stator and rotor.
Second, the role and working principle of the reducer
1. Role
A reducer is a mechanical transmission that converts the high-speed rotation of the input into the low-speed rotation of the output. It uses reduction gears or other mechanisms to reduce the output speed to match the needs of the device.
2. How it works
The working principle of the reducer is mostly based on gear transmission. When the input axial reducer inputs power, the speed of the output shaft decreases accordingly through the action of the gear. Different designs of reducers can achieve different reduction ratios and output torque.
3. The difference between splitter and reducer
1. The role is different
The function of the splitter is to divide the propeller shaft into two parts, while the role of the reducer is to convert the high-speed input into a low-speed output.
2. The working principle is different
The splitter uses the structure of the stator and rotor to achieve the purpose of disassembling and replacing the transmission shaft, while the reducer reduces the output speed through the reduction gear or other mechanisms.
3. The characteristics are different
The splitter has the characteristics of easy disassembly and flexible use, which can save time and energy in replacing the transmission shaft. The reducer, on the other hand, has the characteristics of reducing the speed and increasing the torque, and is suitable for equipment that needs to output low speed and high torque.
In general, although splitters and reducers are mechanical transmission devices, their roles and working principles are significantly different. Understanding these differences allows us to better choose the right drive for our needs.
