Measures to Effectively Reduce Gear Transmission Noise in Gear Reducers

Dongfeng 8 Ton Flatbed Tow Truck

To ensure that gear reducers pass factory testing, it is essential to address the issue of intermittent high noise levels. Tests using the ND6 precision sound level meter indicate that low-noise gear reducers register 72.3 dB(A), meeting factory standards, while high-noise gear reducers reach 82.5 dB(A), failing to meet the requirements. Through repeated testing, analysis, […]
