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

Cycloidal advantages over other styles of gearing;

The EP 3000 and our related products that use cycloidal gearing technology deliver the most robust solution in the most compact footprint. The main power train is comprised of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a couple of inner pins, keeping the decrease high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel includes a curved tooth profile rather than the more traditional involute tooth profile, which eliminates shear forces at any point of contact. This style introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that would exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides several functionality benefits such as for example high shock load capacity (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and put on, lower mechanical service factors, among numerous others. The cycloidal style also has a large output shaft bearing period, which gives exceptional overhung load capabilities without requiring any additional expensive components.

Torque magnification. Gearboxes offer mechanical advantage by not merely decreasing rate but also increasing output torque.
