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 motor for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged as all get-out
The entire EP design proves to be extremely durable, and it requires minimal maintenance following installation. The EP is the most dependable reducer in the commercial marketplace, in fact it is a perfect match for applications in weighty industry such as for example oil & gas, main and secondary metal processing, industrial food production, metal reducing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion equipment, among others.

Cycloidal gearbox cycloidal advantages over 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 primary power train is comprised of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a set of inner pins, keeping the reduction high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel includes a curved tooth profile instead of the more traditional involute tooth profile, which removes shear forces at any stage of contact. This design introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that would exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides several functionality benefits such as high shock load capability (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and use, lower mechanical service factors, among many others. The cycloidal style also has a big output shaft bearing period, which gives exceptional overhung load capabilities without requiring any extra expensive components.

Torque magnification. Gearboxes offer mechanical advantage by not only decreasing quickness but also increasing result torque.
