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
Minimal reflected inertia to engine for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged since 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 industrial marketplace, in fact it is a perfect suit for applications in weighty industry such as oil & gas, main and secondary steel processing, industrial food production, metal trimming and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion devices, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over various 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 primary power train is comprised of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a couple of inner pins, keeping the reduction high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel incorporates a curved tooth profile rather than the more traditional involute tooth profile, which removes shear Cycloidal gearbox forces at any point of contact. This style introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that could exist with an involute gear mesh. That provides several efficiency benefits such as for example high shock load capability (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and use, lower mechanical service factors, among numerous others. The cycloidal design also has a big output shaft bearing span, which provides exceptional overhung load features without requiring any extra expensive components.

Torque magnification. Gearboxes offer mechanical advantage by not merely decreasing speed but also increasing result torque.
