For example, reducer flange is used for connection between motor and reducer, as well as connection between reducer and other equipment. Flange connection or flange joint is a detachable connection of a combined sealing structure composed of flange, gasket and bolts. There are holes on the flange, and the two flanges are tightly connected by bolts, while the flanges are sealed with gaskets. There are many types of flanges, including threaded flanges, welding flanges and clamping flanges.
