  "term": "Reduction drive",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A mechanical system that decreases the rotational speed of an output shaft relative to its input shaft, while simultaneously increasing torque. This is achieved through a series of gears with different numbers of teeth. Reduction drives are used in applications where a high torque at a lower speed is required, such as in winches or industrial mixers.",
