Capable of handling larger “shock” loads (>500%) of rating compared 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 overall EP Cycloidal gearbox 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 fit for applications in weighty industry such as for example oil & gas, principal and secondary steel processing, commercial food production, metal trimming and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion equipment, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over additional 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 made up 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 forces at any stage of contact. This design introduces compression forces, rather than those shear forces that would exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides several efficiency benefits such as high shock load capacity (>500% of rating), minimal friction and wear, lower mechanical service factors, among numerous others. The cycloidal style also has a sizable output shaft bearing period, which provides exceptional overhung load features without requiring any additional expensive components.

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