Cycloidal gearbox

Cycloidal gearbox Capable of handling larger “shock” loads (>500%) of rating compared to worm, helical, etc.
High reduction ratios and torque density in a concise dimensional footprint
Exceptional “built-in” overhung load carrying capability
High efficiency (>95%) per reduction stage
Minimal reflected inertia to engine for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged because all get-out
The entire EP design proves to be extremely durable, and it needs minimal maintenance following installation. The EP may be the most dependable reducer in the industrial marketplace, in fact it is a perfect match for applications in large industry such as oil & gas, principal and secondary steel processing, commercial food production, metal trimming and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion products, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over various other styles of gearing;

The EP 3000 and our related products that make use of cycloidal gearing technology deliver the most robust solution in the most compact footprint. The main power train is made up of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a set of internal pins, keeping the decrease high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel includes a curved tooth profile instead of the more traditional involute tooth profile, which gets rid of shear forces at any stage of contact. This design introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that could exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides numerous performance benefits such as high shock load capacity (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and put on, lower mechanical service elements, among many others. The cycloidal style also has a big output shaft bearing period, which gives exceptional overhung load features without requiring any additional expensive components.

Torque magnification. Gearboxes offer mechanical advantage by not only decreasing swiftness but also increasing output torque.
