Reduction Units

(OP)
I'm looking for some clarification on reduction unit parameters that are normally listed in catalogues.

I'm looking at http://www.smcyclo.com/uploads/product/files/file-1158.pdf

Ratio - is the gear ratio or difference in RPM or Torque of the input and output shafts.

Mechanical Power Rating - I assume the power rating of the unit. If you exceed the power rating you may damage components in the unit such as bearings, gears, seals, etc?

Torque - Doesnt list if its maximum or what. I assume maximum torque the unit can withstand?

High speed shaft and low speed shaft listing - Again I assume maximum?

Thanks
