  • Patent number: 9797474
    Abstract: In a series of reduction gears including a parallel shaft reduction gear and an orthogonal shaft reduction gear, the parallel shaft reduction gear includes a motor, a parallel shaft reducer, and a first joint unit, and the first joint unit includes a first joint casing which is connected to a motor casing and a parallel shaft reducer casing, and a joint shaft which is connected to a motor shaft and the input shaft of the parallel shaft reducer. The orthogonal shaft reduction gear includes the motor and the parallel shaft reducer which are used in common with the parallel shaft reduction gear, a second joint unit in which a portion or all portions are used in common with the first joint unit, and an orthogonal reducer, and the motor, the second joint unit, the orthogonal reducer, and the parallel shaft reducer are connected to one another in this order.
