ABSTRACT:
A speed reducer that can fundamentally eliminate the cause of lubricant leakage is provided. A speed reducer that reduces the speed of input rotation includes at least a first space and a second space separated by an oil seal, and the first space and the second space are each put with lubricant. A level of the lubricant put in the first space is set to be higher than a level of the lubricant put in the second space, and the level of the lubricant put in the second space is set to be at or lower the level of a lowermost oil seal among oil seals that separate the second space and the exterior of the speed reducer.
