Show Answer
Answer: A
Share your understanding of this question with the correct explanation.
In the majority of cases it is true that the gear reducer’s function is to lower the speed (RPM) and increase the Torque.
But there are instances where the standard motor speeds are not enough for the use, like in centrifuges, and there you use the gear reducer inverted, so the outlet speed is greater than the motors and you sacrifice a bit of torque.
