In the conditions of the Extreme North working resource of mechanicaltools and machineelements is reduced because of bad weather conditions in this region. At a low temperature materials are exposed to deformation which is capable to break operability of the mechanism. In connection with the high requirements to the accuracy of a kinematic wave reducer, it is necessary to conduct a research for the purpose of comparison of value of thermal deformation and the appointed admission on a reducer detail. If value of thermal deformation is more admission, then it can lead to jamming of the mechanism. The research was conducted for a collected reducer and separately for not loaded driver gear
